FAR 52.212-2 EvaluationCommercial Items. (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: Price and Technical. Technical is significantly less 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 offers 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. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award one contract without discussions with Offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the Offerors initial quote should contain the Offerors best terms from a price standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. A questions and answer document will be posted on FedBizOpps, if necessary. Any interpretations made will be in the form of an amendment of the solicitation and will be posted on FedBizOpps. Explanations or instructions given in a form other than an amendment to the solicitation shall not be binding.
