(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:

(1) Technical Acceptability: The Vendor shall submit a plan describing how they will meet the requirements outlined in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). The Vendor shall demonstrate that they can provide all content within the PWS. Additionally, the plan shall describe how the Vendor will conform to the requirements PWS. Vendor will also provide a timeline from start of project to completion of project.

Quotes will be evaluated to be technically acceptable or not technically acceptable based on the evaluation factors listed above.

(2) Price: Initially: The quotations will be ranked according to their total evaluated price (TEP) as identified by contract line-item total pricing. Vendors will also be evaluated on their past performances either with the government or other entities, with requirements of similar nature. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all CLINs for the required period of performance.

The offeror's price quotation will be evaluated using one or more of the procedures and techniques defined in FAR 13.106-2 and FAR 13.106-3 in order to determine price reasonableness. For a price to be reasonable, it must represent a price that a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive business. Normally, price reasonableness is established through competitive quotations as described in FAR 13.106-3.

(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.
