Non-Cost/Price Factors During the evaluation, the attached ratings will be used to determine if the following technical/management factors are Acceptable/Unacceptable (see Table 1). There is no requirement to consider past performance on this type of procurement and it is not recommended on LPTA unless you can demonstrate to the KO that it will provide meaningful discrimination between offerors. However, if past performance is to be considered, attached acceptable/unacceptable ratings will apply to past performance (see Table 2). The Technical/Management Factor/Subfactors and rating tables will be restated verbatim in the solicitation.

The Government reserves the right to conduct a realism analysis of the proposed price.
