52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)
(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:
i - Technical Acceptability, technical evaluation team will evaluate by assigning a rating of "acceptable" or "unacceptable". The Government will evaluate a minimum of three (3) lowest priced offers for technical acceptability in accordance with the solicitation. If none of the lowest three (3) are technically acceptable, the Government will evaluate the next three (3) lowest priced proposals until one proposal is technically acceptable, or until all offers have been evaluated. Only those proposals considered technically acceptable will receive further consideration for award. Once a proposal is deemed acceptable, all technical proposals are considered equal.
A. Must meet or exceed the minimum specifications within the solicitation. BRAND NAME OR EQUAL TO NEWPORT (Modular Controller / Newport P/N: LDC-3908) (Combination Laser Diode and TE Control Modules / Newport P/N: LDC-3916376)
ii - Price, order all proposals by total evaluated price from lowest to highest.
Technical and past performance, when combined, are less than important than price.
(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).
(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
