About this file
This document is a sample evaluation criteria template for a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) supply contract evaluation methodology. The evaluation will be conducted in accordance with FAR 12.203 and 12.204 for commercial items, with award made to the offeror representing the best value to the Government. The solicitation does not reference FAR 52.212-2 evaluation of commercial items provisions.
Quotations will be evaluated using three primary criteria: Price, Past Performance, and Technical Acceptability. Price evaluation will consider the total cost for the base period, including any quantity discounts and prompt payment discounts, with all individual line items required for consideration. Past Performance will be rated as Acceptable (demonstrating ability to meet contract requirements including quality, timeliness, cost control, and adherence to terms), Neutral (no prior performance record), or Unacceptable (documented history of failing to meet requirements). The evaluation methodology employs an LPTA approach whereby only the lowest priced offer is initially evaluated for technical acceptability and past performance. If the lowest priced offer does not receive acceptable technical or past performance ratings, evaluation continues sequentially through remaining offers in order of lowest price until identifying the lowest priced offer that is technically acceptable with acceptable or neutral past performance. The Government may reference contractor-provided references, prior USDA contract history, Federal Government sources, or the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to assess past performance.

Sample Evaluation Criteria when using LPTA for a Service Contract
Evaluation-Commercial Items The provision at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.212-2 Evaluation of Commercial Items is not applicable to this solicitation. In lieu of this provision, quotes will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 12.203 based on the criteria listed below. Award will be made to the offeror representing the best value to the Government.
Price:
Any quantity price discounts and discounts for prompt payment should be included in this section. Any quantity price discounts and discounts for prompt payment should be included in this section. Total price evaluation will be for the base period. Failure to propose pricing for the base on individual line items may result in a quotation being excluded from further consideration. The offeror’s quotation will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 12.204, to determine if it is fair and reasonable.
Past Performance:
The Government may utilize any references provided by the Contractor, along with information available from past contracts/orders with the USDA and any information found using sources such as Federal Government sources or the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to determine if the Contractor has acceptable or neutral Past Performance. Past Performance will be evaluated using the following rating system:
· Acceptable: The contractor shows a demonstrated ability to meet contract requirements in prior or current contracts, including quality of work, timeliness, cost control, business relations, and adherence to contract terms.
· Neutral: Offeror does not have a past performance record.
· Unacceptable: The contractor has a documented history of failing to meet contract requirements, including poor quality, missed deadlines, cost overruns, lack of responsiveness, or unethical behavior.
Evaluation Method The Government will evaluate quotations based on the lowest price technically acceptable criteria. Only the lowest priced offer will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. Should the lowest priced offer not receive an acceptable technical or past performance rating, the process will continue in order of lowest priced offer until the lowest price, technically acceptable offer with acceptable or neutral past performance is identified.
