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

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.

offers is deemed technically acceptable and price is determined fair and

reasonable. Table A-1. Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings: Rating
