Section D:

I. Evaluation: In accordance with FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation-Commercial Items, the Government will award a contract to the Quoter whose quotation is judged to represent the best value to the Government based on Price and Technical Factors.

II. Basis for Contract Award: This is a competitive, best-value continuum using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process.

Technical elements will be evaluated as acceptable or unacceptable for each quotation.

III. Evaluation Approach:

a) All quotations will be evaluated for responsiveness. Responsiveness is determined by verifying compliance with FAR 52.212-1 and information contained within this RFQ.

b) All responsive quotations will be ranked, by price, from the lowest to the highest.

Total Evaluated Price (TEP). A Quoter’s TEP is depicted in Attachment 2, Price Schedule.

c) Technical evaluations will start with the lowest TEP quotation and continue until two (2) Quoters are determined to be technically acceptable, or until all Quoters have been evaluated.

d) The Government will make a determination of price fair and reasonable.

IV. Evaluation Factors for Award:

Price

a) Initially, Quoters shall be ranked from lowest to highest TEP, as previously defined.

b) The TEP will be evaluated to determine whether it is reasonable. A reasonable price/cost represents a price/cost that provides best value to the Government, considering market prices, the technical and functional capabilities of the Quoter, and risk.

Additionally, the Government reserves the right to, but is not required to, conduct a price realism analysis on quotations that appear to be exceptionally low and not supported by the Quoter's technical approach. In instances where a Quoter’s proposed price(s) appear exceptionally low, Quoters may be requested to address this disparity by providing evidence of their capability and/or performance at similar price(s). The burden of proof as to price credibility rests with the Quoter.

An exceptionally or unrealistically low quotation that is left unexplained may pose an unacceptable risk to the Government and may be a reason to reject the quotation.

c) The Government anticipates adequate price competition and intends to award a contract without discussions with respective Quoters. The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.

Technical

a) The Quoter’s technical approach will be evaluated as either “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” for each subfactor.
