(1) Technical: quote must be rated as technically acceptable to be eligible for award. In order to be deemed technically acceptable, the following evaluation criteria must be met in the SON dated 24 June 2024.

First, the government will rank all responsive offers by price. Then the Government will evaluate the lowest priced Offeror for technical acceptability. The Government shall evaluate the offer on an acceptable/unacceptable basis IAW Table A-1 (as provided below). Should the lowest priced Offeror be rated “Technically Unacceptable”, evaluation of the next lowest priced Offeror will continue, until technical acceptability can be determined. Once two (2) proposals are found acceptable, evaluations will cease, and award will be made the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror.
