The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotations:

Factor 1 Price The Government will determine prices to be fair and reasonable in accordance with FAR Part 13.106-3 based on, but not limited to, market research, current or previous purchases, prices for similar performance in a related industry, and comparison to an independent Government estimate.

Quoters responding to this solicitation are advised that, prior to award, the Government may request quoters to submit information/data to support price reasonableness such as copies of paid invoices for the same or similar items, sales history for the same or similar items, price list with effective date and/or copies of catalog pages along with any applicable discounts.

Factor 2 Technical Capability/Approach The Government will evaluate the Quoter for acceptability of Technical Capability.

Minimum Requirements:

The following are the minimum requirements a quote must meet to be deemed acceptable for the Technical Capability factor:

1) The quoted supplies/services shall meet the solicitation requirements including any required parts, delivery dates, and terms and conditions stated in the solicitation.

Technical Capability/Approach evaluations will result in one of the following ratings:

TABLE 1 - TECHNICAL RATINGS

Rating Description

Acceptable Quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

A quote must be rated "ACCEPTABLE" for the quote to be eligible for award. An "UNACCEPTABLE" rating for Technical Capability/Approach factor will result in the entire quote being rated "UNACCEPTABLE" overall; an overall rating of "UNACCEPTABLE" makes a quote ineligible for award. A quote must contain sufficient information to enable evaluators to determine acceptability; if there is insufficient information to determine acceptability of the quote, the quote will be rated “UNACCEPTABLE” overall.

The Government reserves the right to request that the awardee reduce its total price, or adjust CLIN prices with no change to total price, in order to reduce administrative costs and avoid unnecessary burdens for the agency pursuant to FAR 13.002.
