6 - Evaluation Criteria Template - LPTA.docx

This is an Evaluation Criteria Template for a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procurement. The template is not specific to a particular solicitation but rather provides a standardized framework for evaluating proposals under an LPTA award basis. It establishes that evaluation will consist of two factors: a Technical Factor assessed on a pass/fail or acceptable/unacceptable basis, and a Price Factor evaluated for fairness and reasonableness. Under the Technical Factor, offerors must demonstrate sufficient trained and qualified personnel, adequate capacity to deliver results within specified timelines, and quality control policies and procedures to ensure contract compliance. Past performance will be considered only for responsibility determination purposes, not as a comparative evaluation criterion. Price evaluation will focus on fairness and reasonableness rather than comparative analysis among competing proposals.
