The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Technical, Delivery Lead Time, and Price.

The Government will issue an order to the responsible vendor whose quotation conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. Quotes will be evaluated to determine compliance with the requirements of this solicitation as follows:

1.Factor 1 - Technical

The quotation will be evaluated to the extent to which it can meet and/or exceed the Government's requirements as outlined in the solicitation and based on the information requested in the instructions to quoters section of the solicitation to be eligible for award.

2. Factor 2 - Delivery Lead Time

An evaluation will assess quotes depicting a firm delivery date that is most advantageous to the Government.

3. Factor 3 - Price

In addition, the offeror's price will be compared against competing quotes and the independent Government cost estimate.
