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. The Government will evaluate offers on the basis of information furnished by the offeror and shall not be responsible for locating or obtaining any information not identified in the offer.

5.2 BASIS FOR AWARD

Award shall be made to the responsible offeror whose quotation, in conforming to this RFQ, provides the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) offer to the Government. The evaluation shall be performed on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of quotes, meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors. The LPTA source selection process shall not involve tradeoffs between technical and cost details. Quotations received will be evaluated for acceptability or unacceptability, but not ranked using the non-cost/price factors.

The Government will first evaluate the total proposed prices. Thereafter, the Government will evaluate the non-price factors of the two lowest overall priced quotes. If the lowest priced quote is determined to be rated as Acceptable, the Government may make award to that contractor without further evaluation of the remaining quotes. If the lowest price quote is determined to be rated Unacceptable, then the Government may evaluate the next lowest price quote, and so forth and so on, until the Government reaches the lowest price quote that is determined to be rated as Acceptable. The Government reserves the right to evaluate all quotes should it be desired or determined to be in the best interest of the Government.

(b) Options (if applicable). 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. The evaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) Notice of award. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer furnished to the successful Offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
