BASIS FOR AWARD:

Quotes will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 13.106-2, Evaluation of Quotations or Offers. A single award will be made based on the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation approach. (Note: See FAR 52.212-2 for evaluation criteria detailed herein). In accordance with FAR 52.212-1(g), The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror’s initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

Quotes will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 52.212-2, “Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021)”:

Factor 2 Technical: Offerors shall demonstrate their ability to meet the specifications provided in this solicitation. Additionally, the technical element of the evaluation shall be based solely on information furnished by the vendor. The Government is not responsible for locating or securing any information which is not provided in the proposal.

(b) Options. 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. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option (s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise 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.
