EVALUATION FACTORS AND METHODOLOGY

3.1 EVALUATION CRITERIA / BASIS FOR AWARD

The Government reserves the right to eliminate from consideration for award any or all offers at any time prior to award of the contract; and to award the contract to the offeror submitting the proposal determined to represent the best value: The LOWEST priced, technically acceptable proposal. The offeror must meet or exceed the Deliverable schedule for the quote to be found acceptable.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. Availability of the equipment, delivery, and warranty under this RFQ will be determinant for technical acceptability.

The Government considers it to be in its best interest to award to the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror. The LPTA process is selected as appropriate for this acquisition because the best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable proposal with the lowest evaluated price.

3.2 ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS

The vendor must be able to demonstrate that it has the necessary resources to provide on-time delivery at a high level of quality. The Government may make one award or multiple awards;

whichever is most advantageous to the Government. As such, quotations provided on an “all or none” basis may not be considered for award.

Separate awards will not be made for each system component. As such, multiple awards within each line item will not be considered; all items in a given line item will be awarded to only one vendor.
