EVALUATION:

The basis for award selection is Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA). This acquisition is being solicited as unrestricted.

To be technically acceptable the offeror shall not take any exceptions to the RFQ. To be considered for award, offeror must have an active SAM.gov registration.

The Government will begin the evaluation process with a ranking based on the Total Evaluated Price from the lowest to highest price. Following the price ranking, only the lowest priced offeror(s) will be evaluated for technical acceptability. If acceptable, the evaluation will stop at that point and award will be made to the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror. If unacceptable, the Government will continue to review quotes in order of price until evaluating one that is technically acceptable and eligible for award. The Government reserves the right to conduct additional technical evaluations as deemed necessary.

Technical Capability: Technical Capability will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis as follows.

Acceptable
