Best Value means the expected outcome of an acquisition that, in the Government’s estimation, provides the greatest overall benefit in response to the requirement. Offers that do not conform to the requirements of the solicitation may be rejected without further evaluation or discussions. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

II. Quotations will be evaluated to determine compliance with all requirements of the solicitation, including any attachments and exhibits.

Each Quotation will be evaluated strictly in accordance with its content; the Government will not assume that performance will include areas not specified in the Offeror’s written Quotation. A

Quotation must clearly meet all requirements (no partial Quotations shall be considered) to be considered “Technically Acceptable.”

b. Price:

I. Offerors are cautioned that the award may not necessarily be made to the lowest price offered. The

(All CLINs) for your quote.

II. 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.

9. BASIS FOR AWARD / EVALUATION PROCEDURES:

I. The Government will first evaluate offers for acceptability. Offers will then be evaluated based on price. Award will then be made to the technically acceptable offer determined to represent the best value to the Government. If only one “Acceptable” offer is received, the Government will attempt to determine price to be fair and reasonable through means other than competition.

II. Award will be made on the initial evaluation of quotes received in response to this RFQ. Therefore, offerors are cautioned to ensure that initial quotes contain your best terms from a technical and price standpoint.
