The government intends to award a purchase order as a result of this

The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the

advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The

following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Lowest Price Technically Acceptable - Offers will be ranked lowest to

highest according to price. A price analysis will be conducted to determine

whether the lowest price will result from a single award or multiple awards.

Based on the price analysis, the lowest price offer or multiple offers, will be

forwarded to the requiring activity for technical evaluation (offer(s), in

accordance with the specifications, will be deemed either technically

acceptable or technically unacceptable). If the lowest price offer or offers is

found technically acceptable and the pricing determined fair and

reasonable by the Contracting Officer, evaluation will be deemed complete

and award will be made based on the lowest price offer(s). If the lowest

price offer is determined technically unacceptable, another analysis will be

conducted amongst the remaining offers to determine if a single or

multiple awards will provide the lowest price. The lowest price offer(s) will

be sent for technical evaluation. This process is repeated in order of price

until an offer or combination of offers is deemed technically acceptable

and price is determined fair and reasonable.
