The Government will first eliminate unacceptable quotations. The remaining quotations will be arranged if more than one quotation is received, in order of lowest price to highest price. Evaluations will commence with the lowest priced quotation. Evaluations will continue until at least two competing quotations are found to be acceptable and have acceptable past performance. The Government will conduct a comparative assessment of the two competing quotations that are found to be acceptable and have acceptable past performance. The award will be made to the offeror whose quote is determined to have both a fair & reasonable price and to be the most advantageous to the Government.
