(a) Basis of Award. This procurement is being conducted pursuant to FAR Part 13 procedures. The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror who offers the lowest price, whose price is found to be reasonable, and whose quote does not take exception with any of the requirements for this procurement specified in the solicitation. Price alone is the sole evaluation factor. In addition to the general standards of responsibility found at FAR § 9.104-1, in accordance with FAR § 9.104-2, the special standards of responsibility described below apply to this procurement. Offerors who fail to meet the special standards of responsibility will not be eligible to receive contract award.

If the price is found to be reasonable and the quote does not take exception with any of the requirements for this procurement, this offeror will be identified as the “successful offeror.” The contracting officer will determine if the successful offeror is responsible using the general and special standards of responsibility for this procurement. If contract award cannot be made to the successful offeror, the contracting officer will evaluate the next lowest-priced quote following the procedures described above. This process will continue until a contract award can be made, or the contracting officer determines that no contract award can be made. The contracting officer may find all quotes not acceptable and cancel the procurement if the lowest-priced quote exceeds the amount of funding available for the procurement. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract without discussions with offerors. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions at any time if determined by the contracting officer to be in the Government’s interest.

(c) 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. 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).
