TECHNICAL EVALUATION SCORING (Pass, Fail)

• Pass – Quote clearly meets the minimum requirement of the solicitation.

• Fail – Quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

VOLUME II: PRICING (EVALUATION)

Each item on the Price Schedule (Attachment 2) shall be evaluated by the Government for price reasonableness.

Separately from the technical evaluation, the Government shall conduct a price evaluation of the price Quote using the quoter’s Price Schedule (Attachment 2). For the evaluation, pricing will be determined by adding the total price for the base period plus the total price for each of the four

The TE will conduct a pass/fail evaluation to determine whether the quote meets the requirements of the SOW. If the lowest priced quote is deemed technically unacceptable, the next lowest priced quote will be evaluated by the TE until the LPTA quote is reached.
