Evaluation Criteria The Government will evaluate quotations using the Lowest-Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source-selection approach. Award will be made to the vendor submitting the lowest-priced quotation determined to be technically acceptable.

The Government will first evaluate technical acceptability. A vendor whose Technical Volume is determined technically unacceptable will not be eligible for award, regardless of quoted price. The Government may then consider the next lowest-priced quotation that is determined technically acceptable.

To be determined technically acceptable, the vendor’s quotation must:

1. Clearly demonstrate the vendor’s capability to meet all requirements of the SOW; and

2. Include complete pricing for all required Contract Line-Item Numbers (CLINs).

The Government intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract without conducting discussions. The Government may make an award based on initial quotations. However, if clarification is necessary, the Contracting Officer may contact the vendor.

If the Government determines that no quotation is technically acceptable, no award will be made under this solicitation.

The Government assumes no responsibility or liability for costs incurred by vendors in preparing or submitting quotations.
