Rating Description

Acceptable 1. Quote does not take exception to any term of solicitation and therefore clearly meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable 1. Quote takes exception to a solicitation term(s) and therefore does not clearly meet the requirements of the solicitation.

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the lowest price technically acceptable quote. The responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the

Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

3.Responsibility Determination

An award will only be made to an offeror that satisfies the general responsibility standards of FAR 9.104-l. The contracting officer may either make a responsibility determination without requesting any information from an offeror or require the offeror provide information to substantiate that it satisfies the general responsibility standard of FAR 9.104-1. The particular information requested from an offeror will be specific to that offeror.

For example an offeror that the contracting officer is less familiar with may be required to provide information not required from another offeror. The contracting officer may consider an offeror's inability to promptly respond to a request for information as an indication the offeror is non- responsible since FAR 9.103(c) obligates prospective contractors to affirmatively demonstrate their responsibility.

When the contracting officer requests responsibility information, the contracting officer's request, the offeror's response, and all related communications between the Government and offeror are solely for the purpose of determining whether the offeror is responsible. These communications will not constitute discussions within the meaning of FAR 15.306 since the offeror will not be given an opportunity to revise its quote

9.104-1, the following are examples of information that may be required:

l. A demonstration, through information such as bank references and financial information (e.g., most current annual balance sheet), that the offeror has adequate financial resources to perform the contract.
