AWARD SELECTION PROCESS
Award will be made to the Offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation requirements and provides the best value to the Government: Lowest price that meets the minimum requirement in accordance with the items contained in this solicitation and the process described in FAR PART 12.
1. Price: A price evaluation will be performed to determine the reasonableness of the proposed price.
Reasonableness will be determined considering other competitive prices received and comparison to the independent Government estimate. If multiple contract line items are included in the price schedule, prices will also be evaluated to determine whether any line items are unbalanced. Offerors are cautioned to distribute costs appropriately.
2. Prior Experience: Documented prior experience performing at the same level of scope defined within the SOW.
Quotes will receive a preliminary review to determine whether the quote contains sufficient information, as required by the solicitation, to allow the government to perform a meaningful evaluation.

The government will evaluate quotes in groups of three (3), starting with the lowest priced quotes, proceeding upward, incrementally in price, until an awardee is selected. At that point, the evaluation process stops, and award will be made to the selected Offeror.
