Award will be made to the responsible offeror(s) submitting the lowest priced, technically acceptable (LPTA) offer(s) that satisfies all terms and conditions of this solicitation. The following evaluation factors will be used to evaluate each offer: Each non-price factor will be rated as either acceptable or unacceptable. If any of factor is rated as unacceptable, the overall factor rating is unacceptable and the entire proposal is unacceptable.
Factor A: Technical
- : The proposal must be for the “brand name or equal” for the items requested.
(see FAR 52.211-6 BRAND NAME OR EQUAL)
- The Government will evaluate the offeror’s proposal against Government’s minimum requirements as specified on the solicitation to determine whether the proposal is acceptable or unacceptable using the ratings and descriptions outlined in table below.
Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings
Rating Description Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation
Factor B: Past Performance
The Government will evaluate the offeror’s record of past and current performance to ascertain the probability of successfully performing the required efforts of the solicitation requirements. This factor will be evaluated on an “acceptable” or “unacceptable” basis using the ratings in below table. Past Performance will be evaluated based upon offeror’s client’s satisfaction on similar projects within the last 3 years. In determining the acceptability, each offeror shall be required to submit Past Performance Information within the last three (3) years in accordance with responses received to the Proposal Instruction (Addendum to FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to the offeror(s)).

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.
* Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)).
