3. Excluded Parties List System (EPLS). Award will be made to the lowest priced, technically acceptable quote which is deemed responsible.

EVALUATION FACTORS:

PRICE EXHIBIT

a. A quote's Total Evaluated Price (TEP) will be determined by the sum of all separately priced CLINs as presented on the combined synopsis/solicitation.
