(ix) FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services is incorporated. (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: Award Eligibility and Price. Award Eligibility shall be determined by the following: Demonstration that the Offeror is an authorized distributor of the identified brand name manufacturer. Acceptable demonstration is as follows: Prime level Offerors shall provide written documentation from the Original Equipment Manufacturer that their company or their subcontractor is authorized to distribute the required equipment. If the prime Offeror's subcontractor is the authorized distributor, then the prime-level Offeror shall include in the documentation a statement guaranteeing the Government will receive the same benefits when contracting with the prime as if the prime Offeror was the authorized distributor; AND Offeror provides an exact match of the part numbers listed in Attachment 001 of this solicitation. If an Offeror does not provide the entire list of equipment, or is not an authorized distributor, the Offeror will be deemed Ineligible for award. If an Offeror does not submit pricing for all the line items identified in the 001 CLIN structure spreadsheet, the Offeror will be deemed Ineligible for award. If the Offeror provides pricing for all the line items identified in the Attachment 001, and is an authorized distributor, the Offeror will be deemed Eligible for award. An Offeror�s Total Evaluated Price will be determined by multiplying the proposed unit prices, by the required quantities identified in each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN). For competitive evaluation purposes, the evaluated price for this procurement will be based on a sum of all CLINs. Offerors must provide pricing for all CLINs. All CLINs will be included in the total evaluated price. Each Offeror�s offer shall be evaluated to determine if it is complete. In accordance with FAR 15.305(a)(1), competition establishes price reasonableness. Therefore, when contracting on a firm-fixed-price basis, comparison of the proposed prices will usually satisfy the requirements to perform a price analysis, and a cost analysis need not be performed. Since this will be conducted using competitive procedures, adequate price competition is expected as the basis for determining the fair and reasonableness of the selected Offeror�s price. In the event that there is only one satisfactory offer, the Government reserves the right to request additional cost or pricing data as necessary from both the Offeror and subcontractors, and may conduct negotiations with the Offeror, pursuant to FAR 15.403-4 in order to ensure a reasonable and realistic price. A Competitive Fair and Reasonable Price Determination will be reviewed and approved by the Procuring Contracting Officer. The Competitive Fair and Reasonable Price Determination will establish price reasonableness and determine responsibility (FAR 9.103). The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award the contract without discussions as described in FAR 52.212-1(g); and will evaluate each offer on the basis of the Offeror�s initial offer. Therefore, the initial offer shall contain the Offeror�s best terms. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received. (x) Offerors shall include a completed copy of the provision at FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications - Commercial Items with its offer or a statement that its Representations and Certifications was completed in the System for Award Management (SAM).
