(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Quotes will be evaluated according to technical compliance and on price submissions. The quote should include all information the contractor wants the Government to consider and evaluate regarding its company’s ability to conform to all required terms and conditions. The below evaluation factors and subfactors will be used in the determination of technical acceptability.

a. The agency intends to award an FFP order using the LPTA methodology. After receipt of quotes, the Government will first evaluate the lowest price quote. If the lowest price quote is determined to be technically acceptable (the minimum technical specifications are met) and otherwise properly awardable, award will be made to that offeror. The Government reserves the right to evaluate only the lowest price quote or to conduct further evaluations of additional quotes.

b. The standards for determining technical acceptability are listed below. The Government reserves the right not to consider for award any quote that does not adhere to the administrative requirements of this RFQ.

(1) Technical Approach Factor: The Technical Subfactors will be evaluated and rated either Acceptable or Unacceptable IAW the evaluation table below. For a quote to be rated overall Technically Acceptable, the contractor must be able to provide all the hardware/software set forth in the attached salient characteristics document, unless the hardware/software is no longer available. If a requested hardware/software item is end of life and no longer available from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) the contractor at the direction of the OEM can propose a substitution, this substitution must be clearly identified in the quote and documented with information from the OEM. All hardware/software items must be new products. No refurbished products will be accepted. Quotes must be from authorized resellers of the OEM quoted.

Evaluation Table - Technical Ratings

Rating Description

Acceptable Quote meets the minimum technical requirements of the solicitation.

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

(2) Price Factor:

(a) Price quotes will be evaluated, and the Government reserves the right, but is not obligated, to perform a price realism analysis. The total evaluated price will consist of the contractor’s quoted price for all items listed.

(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.
