2. Evaluation of Quotations or Offers

Pursuant to FAR 12.602 contract award will be made using Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR 13.106. Quotes will be evaluated for technical compliance and price.

a. Technical. To be determined responsive, offerors must provide the following technical information for evaluation:

1. Clear evidence the offeror understands and can fulfill all requirements listed in Section 3.0 & 5.0 of the Statement of Work.

2. Projected Timeline reflecting the capability to meet the 45 day installation requirement.

Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA).

If the lowest priced vendor is rated to be “Technically Acceptable”, evaluation will stop without any further consideration of additional quotes. If the lowest priced vendor is rated to be “Technically Unacceptable”, review of the next lowest priced quote will continue until a “Technically Acceptable” rating is achieved or until all quotes are evaluated.

4. Quote/Question Suspense & Submission Instructions

NOTE: Preferred method of receipt is via email. ZIP files are not an acceptable format for the Air Force Network and will not go through our email system. Vendors should place a read/delivery receipt and/or request confirmation of receipt by the government.
