The award will be made to the perspective and responsible vendor, whose quote conforms to the solicitation, while being most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Items shall apply to this solicitation. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

a. Price fair and reasonableness will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 13.106-3; and

b. Technical acceptability which will be evaluated based on the following:

(1) Quotes shall include a total evaluated price for delivering the specified model/part number in accordance with the Attachment 2 – Seed Project Pricing Sheet.

Quotes that do not include a total evaluated price for delivering the specified model/part number will be determined to be technically unacceptable.

(2) Quotes shall meet the requirement in full with no exceptions. This technical factor is met when the vendor confirms the specified model/part number will be delivered within the time indicated in Attachment 1 with no exceptions. Quotes that cannot meet the minimum delivery timeframe will be determined to be technically unacceptable.

These factors will be utilized in a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) selection process. Among those vendors who are determined to be technically acceptable, award will be made to the vendor having the lowest price. Vendors are reminded that the Government will only evaluate one quote from each offeror. Award will be made to the responsible vendor whose quote is technically acceptable, conforms to all solicitation requirements (i.e. terms and conditions, representations and certifications, technical requirements) and provides the best value to the Government based on the results of the evaluation described in this solicitation. The

Government intends to make the award without discussions.
