All quotes that receive an Acceptable for the Technical factor will be evaluated for both the Price and Past Performance factors, with the Past Performance factor being evaluated approximately equal to the Price factor. The Government reserves the right to award a contract to other than the lowest Total Evaluated Price (TEP). The evaluation process will include the following:

(1) Price: The Government will rank all quotes by TEP for Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) 0001. The price evaluation will document the fairness and reasonableness of the TEP. The Government reserves the right to perform price realism analysis. If the Government elects to perform a price realism analysis, the Government reserves discretion over the method within which it performs its price realism analysis. If the Government elects to perform a price realism analysis and finds a proposal unrealistic, the Government may withhold award to that quoter.

(2) Technical: The Government will evaluate technical approaches on a pass/fail basis and assign an Acceptable or Unacceptable rating as described in the table below.

TABLE 1: TECHNICAL RATINGS
