(a) The Government will award a purchase order contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes: price and technical acceptability.

Award will be made to the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) quote meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards identified below. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes based on the total quoted price for all contract line item numbers (CLINS). The lowest price quote will be evaluated first for technical acceptability. If the lowest price quote is found technically acceptable, evaluations stop and award is made to that quoter. If the lowest price quote is found to be technically unacceptable, the next lowest price quote is evaluated for technical acceptability. This process is followed until a quoter is found technically acceptable.

The lowest priced quoter who is also technically acceptable is considered to be the best value to the Government.

Quotes not meeting the below standards may make the quote technically unacceptable and may not be eligible for further evaluation or award. Technical acceptability will be determined by a review, accomplished by the end-user, of the quoted items to ensure each item meets the requirements identified in the attached Specifications.

Technical Acceptability will be evaluated based on the following Technical Factors:

1) Quotes shall include a total evaluated price for delivering the specified model/part number in accordance with the Specifications. This technical factor is met when the quote includes a total evaluated price for delivering the specified model/part number in accordance with the Specifications.

Quotes that do not include a total evaluated price for delivering the specified model/part number in accordance with the attached Specifications may be determined to be technically unacceptable.

2) Quotes shall meet the Specifications in full with no exceptions. This technical factor is met when the quote confirms the specified model/part number will be delivered in accordance with the Specifications with no exceptions. Quotes that do not confirm the specified model/part number will be delivered in accordance with the specifications, or quotes that take exceptions to the Specifications may be determined to be technically unacceptable.

3) Quotes shall confirm that the specified model/part number will be delivered within the specified timeframe in the Specifications. This technical factor is met when the quote confirms the delivery timeframe will be met. Quotes that cannot meet the minimum delivery timeframe may be determined to be technically unacceptable.
