INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS ON QUOTE EVALUATION

The Government intends to award multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) resulting from this solicitation to responsible offerors whose offers conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous and provide the best value to the Government, price and other factors considered. It is the Government’s intent to award five (5) BPAs, although greater or fewer than five may be awarded. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1) Price. Note that pricing may never exceed the lodging rate, which is available at https://www.gsa.gov/travel/plan-book/per-diem-rates/per-diem-rates-lookup. Although the government is allowed to pay up to the per diem rate, please provide your best and final pricing.

Quotes should contain actual prices for use in evaluating quotes. When evaluating pricing, if "per diem" is stated on a quote, the price will be assumed to be the local per diem rate for the specific dates. If a price range is stated on a quote for a specific date, then the higher range value will be used in evaluating pricing. If pricing changes from month-to-month, you may add an attachment.

2) Past Performance

3) Technical Capability
