A. Basis for Contract Award: The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible vendor whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, considering the factors listed in this provision.

1. In accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b)(3), the Government will utilize comparative evaluations, and give preliminary consideration to all offers received in response to this solicitation. The Government will identify from all evaluated quotes, readily discernible value indicators that fall within the parameters of price, and technical capability.

2. The Government intends to award a contract to the lowest priced offer than meets the instructions outlined in 52.212-1, and the minimum requirements outlined in this provision, whose price can be determined "fair and reasonable".

3. The Government intends to make an award without conducting exchanges with vendors after the close of the solicitation. Therefore, vendors should provide their best available pricing and to the Government in their initial quote. However, the Government reserves the right to enter into exchanges with all, some, or none of the offers at any time during the evaluation period if deemed in the best interests of the Government to do so.

B. Evaluation Factors: The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

1. Price

2. Technical Acceptability

C. A written notice of award will be emailed or otherwise furnished to the successful vendor within the time for acceptance outlined in 52.212-1 shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the quotes specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quote (or part of a quote), whether or not there are exchanges after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award

Technical Acceptability: The Government will evaluate quotes for technical acceptability in the following way: Verification that quotes include the correct quantity, item and description/ configuration.

Definition: Acceptable or Unacceptable.

• Acceptable is defined as the quote clearly meets the requirements of the solicitation (in terms of quantity, part number and description).

• Unacceptable is defined as the quote does not clearly meet the requirements of the solicitation (in terms of quantity, part number and description).

AWARD PROCESS:

The Government will first review all quotes for compliance and then order the Offerors from lowest to highest total price. The lowest priced quote will then be evaluated for Factor 1, Technical Acceptability on acceptable/unacceptable basis. If the lowest priced quote is deemed technically acceptable the evaluation will stop and award will be made. If the lowest priced quote is deemed technically unacceptable no further consideration will be given to that offeror and the next lowest priced quote will then be evaluated, the Government will continue the evaluation process until reaching a technically acceptable quote. Quotes that are technically unacceptable are un-awardable. The Government reserves the right to award without discussions. Prior to award, the quoted price of the lowest priced technically acceptable offer will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness in accordance with FAR 15.404.

DISCUSSIONS:

The government intends to award a purchase order without discussions with respective vendors. The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest. The Government may conduct discussions with one, some, none or all Vendors at its discretion. If the price is determined to be fair and reasonable, the lowest priced responsible Offeror who is technically acceptable will receive the award. The award will be made to that Offeror without further consideration to any other Offerors.
