UNACCEPTABLE Quotation does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

(Sufficient information shall be provided to support capability to meet the required brand name products and services requested, to include but not limited to, product literature, product number, authorized service provider letter, etc…)

2. PRICE: All quotes must be the Contractor’s Best Pricing. Price analysis shall be used to verify that the overall price offered is fair and reasonable. The Offeror shall input the unit price and total in all the line items present in the SF1449. The total evaluated price is calculated using the prices proposed for all line items.

3. EVALUATION PROCESS: The evaluation will proceed as follows:

a. Quotes will be ranked in order from lowest to highest based on the price. The lowest priced quotation will then be evaluated and receive a rating of Acceptable or Unacceptable based on the criteria below. In order to be rated as Acceptable, the Technical quote must meet the Government's minimum requirements as described in the solicitation. Quotes deemed Unacceptable are those that fail to meet the Government's minimum requirements.

b. If the lowest priced quoter’s Technical quote is rated acceptable, the Government will then evaluate pricing to determine fair and reasonableness. If the lowest priced quotation is evaluated to have an acceptable technical quote and fair and reasonable prices, per FAR 8.405-1(f), the Government will complete a responsibility determination IAW the criteria specified in FAR 9.104-1. If found responsible, the Government may stop the evaluation process at this point as that quote represents the best value to the Government. Award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers.

c. If the lowest priced quotation is assigned an unacceptable rating, or if the price is determined not fair and reasonable or if the quoter is found to be non-responsible, the next lowest priced quote will be evaluated. This process will continue (in ascending order) until a quoter is evaluated to have an acceptable technical rating, fair and reasonable prices and the offeror is deemed responsible. The government reserves the right to evaluate all quotes. The award will be made to the offeror whose quotation represents the best value to the government on a LPTA basis.

The Government reserves the right to award no contract, depending on the quality of the quotes submitted and availability of funds for the requirement. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a single contract without requesting or accepting revised quotes. Therefore, the Offerors will be advised that their initial quote should contain the most favorable terms and reflect its best possible performance potential. The Government does reserve the right to clarify aspects of the quotes and hold discussions.
