Evaluation -- Commercial Items (Jan 1999)
(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: Offer must clearly demonstrate that the offeror is capable of meeting the statement of work (SOW).
(ii) Price: The total evaluated price of an offer will be calculated as the sum of the extended prices (unit quantity multiplied by unit price) for Contract Line Item Numbers (CLIN) 0001.
Technical is approximately equal to price. The Government will initiate concurrent evaluation of all of the above factors on all offers. The Government will consider, throughout the evaluation, the "correction potential" of any proposal uncertainty. The judgment of such "correction potential" is within the sole discretion of the Government. If the Government cannot determine if a proposal's Technical Performance factor is acceptable pursuant to initial or subsequent evaluation and the proposal, in the Government's judgment, is considered correctable, the Contracting Officer may open or continue discussions. If at any time during the evaluation, a proposal's Technical factor is determined to be unacceptable or not correctable pursuant to a proposal uncertainty, no further consideration will be given to that proposal for award.
(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.
