EVALUATION FACTORS

Evaluation Factors and LPTA Evaluation Methodology: Technical acceptability will be evaluated on all offers.

Only those offerors determined to be technically acceptable will be considered for award. Offerors with evaluated technical and past performance acceptable proposals will be considered in determining the lowest price based on the total evaluated price. However, the Contracting Officer will make a responsibility determination of the technical acceptable offerors in accordance with FAR 9.1.

Evaluation Criteria. The Government will use the criteria set forth below in the evaluation and selection of offers for award. Each offeror must submit a proposal that completely addresses all of the requirements listed in the RFP and must demonstrate how each requirement will be satisfied.

Factor 1 – Technical Acceptability. The Government technical evaluation team will evaluate the technical proposals on a Yes and NO basis, assigning ratings of “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable.” A failure in any factor will render the offeror’s proposal as technically unacceptable. Any technically unacceptable proposal will be removed from any further consideration for award. The offeror’s technical proposal will be rated utilizing the adjectival ratings defined below.
