EVALUATION OF QUOTATIONS

5.1 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

The quote shall be prepared and submitted in accordance with the instructions contained in Section 4 of this RFQ.

5.2 BASIS FOR AWARD

The government may award an order resulting from this RFQ to the responsible quoter whose quote conforming to all terms herein will be most advantageous to the government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers – lowest price technically acceptable.

A responsive, technically acceptable quote is one that complies with all RFQ requirements. To establish adequate competition, the Bureau will evaluate at least the two lowest‑priced quotes to determine whether at least two technically acceptable quotes have been received. The Bureau will begin by evaluating the lowest‑priced quote for technical acceptability. If the lowest‑priced quote is determined technically acceptable, the Bureau will then evaluate the next lowest‑priced quote to determine whether it is also technically acceptable.

If both quotes are determined technically acceptable, award may be made to the lowest‑priced technically acceptable quoter without further evaluation. If the lowest‑priced quote is unacceptable, the Bureau will proceed to evaluate the next lowest‑priced quote, and so on, until the Bureau either identifies at least two technically acceptable quotes or determines that additional evaluation would not be in the Government’s best interest.

A written notice of award or acceptance of a quote, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful quoter within the time for acceptance specified in the quote, shall result in a binding order without further action by either party. Before the quote’s specified expiration time, the government may accept a quote (or part of one), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
