AWARD SELECTION PROCESS

Award will be made to the Offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation requirements and provides the best value to the Government: Lowest Price Technically Acceptable in accordance with the items contained in this solicitation and the process described in FAR PART 12.

1. Price: A price evaluation will be performed to determine the reasonableness of the proposed price.

Reasonableness will be determined considering other competitive prices received and comparison to the independent Government estimate. If multiple contract line items are included in the price schedule, prices will also be evaluated to determine whether any line items are unbalanced. Offerors are cautioned to distribute costs appropriately.

Quotes will receive a preliminary review to determine whether the quote contains sufficient information, as required by the solicitation, to allow the government to perform a meaningful evaluation. If the results of this preliminary review indicate that the quote lacks sufficient information to allow a meaningful evaluation to be conducted, the Contract Specialist/Contracting Officer may eliminate the quote from further evaluation and consideration for an award.

The government will evaluate quotes in groups of three (3), starting with the lowest priced quotes, proceeding upward, incrementally in price, until an awardee is selected. At that point, the evaluation process stops, and award will be made to the selected Offeror.
