Evaluation and Award Criteria The Government will review all quotes for compliance with the RFQ, to include compliance with all instructions, provisions and clauses, and submission dates.

The compliant quotes will then be evaluated using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach in accordance with the following factors:

· Factor 1: Technical

· Factor 2: Price

Technical Acceptability: The Government will evaluate quotes for technical acceptability in the following way:

Verification that quotes include a proposed product solution that meets or exceeds the current configuration and the salient characteristics listed in the included Attachment 1, Statement of Work Gym 1 Divider Curtain.

Definition: Acceptable or Unacceptable.

· Acceptable is defined as the quote clearly meets the requirements of the solicitation (in terms of quantity, product description, and configuration).

· Unacceptable is defined as the quote does not clearly meet the requirements of the solicitation (in terms of quantity, product description, and configuration).

AWARD PROCESS:

The Government will first review all quotes for compliance with this solicitation and then order the Offerors from lowest to highest total price. The lowest priced quote will then be evaluated for Factor 1, Technical Acceptability on acceptable/unacceptable basis. If the lowest priced quote is deemed technically acceptable the evaluation will stop and award will be made. If the lowest priced quote is deemed technically unacceptable no further consideration will be given to that offeror and the next lowest priced quote will then be evaluated. The Government will continue the evaluation process until reaching a technically acceptable quote. Quotes that are technically unacceptable are un-awardable. The Government reserves the right to award without exchanges. Prior to award, the quoted price of the lowest priced technically acceptable offer will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness in accordance with FAR 13.106.

Interchanges: The government intends to award a purchase order without interchanges with respective vendors. The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct interchanges if deemed in its best interest. The Government may conduct Interchanges with one, some, none, or all Vendors at its discretion.

If the price is determined to be fair and reasonable, the lowest priced responsible Offeror who is technically acceptable will receive the award. The award will be made to that Offeror without further consideration to any other Offerors.

Offerors should include a completed copy of the provision at FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications -- Commercial Items (DEC 2022).
