SECTION 7 EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

(a) The Government will award a firm fixed price purchase order to the offeror with the lowest-priced, technically acceptable quote.

Only the lowest-priced offer is evaluated for technical acceptability. If it meets requirements, no other offers are reviewed; if not, the next lowest is checked, continuing until a technically acceptable offer is found. Technical criteria are judged as "acceptable" or "unacceptable."

The following areas will be evaluated:

PRICE EVALUATION

This criterion evaluates the total price for realism, reasonableness, and completeness, as well as alignment with contract requirements.

(a) Reasonableness: The proposed price must be fair and reflect market and requirement conditions.

(b) Completeness: All required pricing information must be provided, including all elements requested in the RFQ.

(c) Price Realism: The Government may review a quote for prices that appear unrealistically low in comparison with the scope, Government estimates, market conditions, or the contractor’s stated approach, to ensure the offeror understands the requirements and can successfully perform.

TECHNICAL EVALUATION

1. The Technical area will be evaluated on an “acceptable” or “unacceptable” basis.

2. Technical Standards:

(a) Quote submitted is an exact match or equal product and complete specifications provided.

(b) Contractor can complete all work within (30) days after award.

(c) Relevant Past Performance as a Prime contractor

The Technical area will be evaluated on an “acceptable” or “unacceptable” basis.

If quotes cannot be determined reasonably priced, no award shall be made.

The failure to submit any of the information requested in this RFQ may lead to the rejection of your quote without further consideration.
