Evaluation Criteria

Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) This acquisition will utilize the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procedure to make a best value award. The government intends to make ONE award based on evaluation of proposals submitted in response to this solicitation. Award will be made to the responsible offeror who provides the best value under the LPTA award methodology. Best value is defined as the proposal that complies with all solicitation terms and conditions, provides the lowest price, and has been determined to be technically acceptable in accordance with technical evaluation criteria. While the government will strive for maximum objectivity, the technically acceptable/unacceptable review process is subjective by nature. Therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the evaluation process.

If the lowest priced evaluated is considered a technically acceptable offer that offer represents the best value for the government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers. If the lowest priced offeror is not considered technically acceptable, the next lowest priced offeror will be evaluated and the process will continue (in order by price) until an offeror is determined to be technically acceptable or until all offerors are evaluated. The Contracting Officer shall then make an integrated assessment best value award decision.
