The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotations:

The following are the minimum requirements a quote must meet to be deemed acceptable for the Technical

Capability factor:

1) The quoted supplies/services shall meet the solicitation requirements including any required parts, delivery dates, and terms and conditions stated in the solicitation.

Technical Capability/Approach evaluations will result in one of the following ratings:

TABLE 1 - TECHNICAL RATINGS

Rating Description

Acceptable Quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

A quote must be rated "ACCEPTABLE" for the quote to be eligible for award. An "UNACCEPTABLE" rating for

Technical Capability/Approach factor will result in the entire quote being rated "UNACCEPTABLE" overall; an overall rating of "UNACCEPTABLE" makes a quote ineligible for award. A quote must contain sufficient information to enable evaluators to determine acceptability; if there is insufficient information to determine acceptability of the quote, the quote will be rated “UNACCEPTABLE” overall.

The Government reserves the right to request that the awardee reduce its total price, or adjust CLIN prices with no change to total price, in order to reduce administrative costs and avoid unnecessary burdens for the agency pursuant to FAR 13.002.
