a. The government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

All offers shall be evaluated using the evaluation factors described below and must address, at a minimum, all elements listed in the solicitation’s instructions to Offerors FAR 52.212-1 and addendum FAR 52.212-1

Technical Capability – The Government will evaluate quotes on the basis of whether or not the provided quote meets the technical capability specified in the Statement of Work. Technical Capability shall consist of meeting or exceeding the requirements in the Statement of Work.

Price – The Government will evaluate offers by adding all line item prices - the Total of All CLINS will be that sum. The Government may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to make a price reasonableness determination. Offers that do not meet or exceed the technical capability requirements of the statement of work shall not be selected regardless of price.

Options (if requested); The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s)

b. All Offerors are advised that, in the interest of efficiency, the Government reserves the right to conduct the review in the most effective manner. Specifically, the Government may first sort the quotes of all Offerors by price from lowest price to the highest. Thereafter, the Government will review the Technical Capability of the lowest priced quote only. If the lowest priced Offeror’s Technical Capability is determined to be acceptable and meets the requirements, the Government may make award to that Offeror without further reviews of the remaining Offerors’ Technical Capability. If the lowest priced Offeror’s Technical Capability is determined to not meet the requirement, then the Government may review the Technical Capability next lowest priced quote, and so forth and so on, until the Government reaches a quote that is determined to meet the Technical Capability requirements.
