“Since this solicitation is Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) the source selection evaluation board will begin by reviewing the lowest priced proposal. If the board determines that this proposal is technically acceptable no other proposals will be reviewed. This proposal will have been deemed technically acceptable with the lowest price, so for this reason the award will be made based on FAR guidance.”

b)Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement.
