3. Evaluation and Award Criteria The government intends to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order on a single or multiple line-item basis to the responsive and responsible offeror(s) whose quote conforms to this combined synopsis/solicitation and represents the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) alternative. The following distinct factors will be weighed during evaluation:

• Technical Acceptability: Quotes will be reviewed to verify that proposed items meet the precise brand name, case weight, volume, processing, and packaging descriptions requested in the underlying food specifications. Non-conforming products or substitutions without prior authorization are subject to technical rejection.

• Price: Proposed line-item pricing must remain firm throughout the performance period.

Extended totals and unit prices must be logically balanced and accurate.

• Past Performance: The Government will evaluate the offeror's history of delivery reliability, quality control, and execution performance on recent contracts of a similar scope, size, and complexity. This review relies on references, internal institutional history, and data gathered through the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). In accordance with FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv), an offeror without a record of relevant past performance, or for whom information on past performance is not available, will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance and will receive a Neutral rating.
