1. 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.

In accordance with FAR 13.106-2, the Government will utilize comparative evaluations and give preliminary consideration to all offers received in response to this solicitation. The Government intends to award a contract to the lowest priced offer, but the government will consider all offers and make a best value decision that meets the instructions outlined in 52.212-1, the minimum requirements outlined in this provision, and whose price can be determined both "fair and reasonable" by the Contracting Officer.

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 technical quotes 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.

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

Price: At minimum; the vendor must provide pricing in accordance with the instructions outlined in 52.212-1. The vendor that provides the lowest price that can be determined both "fair and reasonable" and by the Contracting Officer may be given additional consideration for awardee selection. However, the Government is under no obligation to do so. During the evaluation process the Contracting Officer will determine a "Total Evaluated Price" (TEP) for each responsive quote. The TEP is determined by totaling the amount of all line items identified in the offerors' quote submitted via Attachment 3.
