1. Price;

1. Technical capability of the item offered to meet the Government’s requirements.

Based on the quote, the offerors need to meet the requirements on the product description found in (v) and (vi).

(b) Although we intend to award single source, if competition were to unexpectedly present itself, we would follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach. All offers will be assessed based on their proposed Total Price. The contract will be awarded to the offeror with the lowest price that fully meets all specifications. Only the lowest-priced quote will undergo a technical acceptability review based on the provided specifications. If the first lowest quote is found technically unacceptable, the second lowest-priced quote will undergo technical acceptability review and so on until an offer is found to be technically acceptable. Only one award will be made under this solicitation. The award process will adhere to the provisions of FAR Part 12, Commercial Items, and FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Please submit written offers only; oral offers will not be considered. All firms must be registered in the System for Award Management database at www.sam.gov and have a current SPRS NIST 800-171 DoD Assessment to be considered for award.

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.
