2. Evaluation of Quotations or Offers

Pursuant to FAR 12.602 contract award will be made using Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR 13.106. Quotes will be evaluated for technical compliance and price.

a. Technical. Offerors shall propose a complete solution conforming to all requirements identified in the Statement of Work and Salient Characteristics.

The Government will evaluate quotes on the basis of information furnished by the vendor or identified in the quote and reasonably available to the Government. The Government is not responsible for locating or obtaining any information not identified in the quote.

To be considered responsive, vendors are required to:

(1) Clearly identify products by

(i) Brand name, if any; and

(ii) Make or model number;

(2) Include descriptive literature such as illustrations, drawings, or a clear reference to previously furnished descriptive data or information available to the Contracting Officer; and

3. Basis for Award

Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA). A technical advisor will compare a vendor’s quoted product/s against the requirements of the Statement of Need and assign a technical rating of either “Acceptable” or Unacceptable”. If the lowest priced vendor is rated to be “Technically Acceptable”, evaluation will stop without any further consideration of additional quotes. If the lowest priced vendor is rated to be “Technically Unacceptable”, review of the next lowest priced quote will continue until a “Technically Acceptable” rating is achieved or until all quotes are evaluated.

4. Quote/Question Suspense & Submission Instructions

NOTE: Preferred method of receipt is via email. ZIP files are not an acceptable format for the Air Force Network and will not go through our email system. Vendors should place a read/delivery receipt and/or request confirmation of receipt by the government.
