(a) Evaluation factors. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors will be used to evaluate offers:

Evaluation Factors for Award (LPTA)

The Government will award a single Firm-Fixed-Price contract to the responsible offeror whose quote, conforming to the solicitation, is determined to be the most advantageous to the Government based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process.

Quotes will be evaluated using a two-step process:

Step 1: Technical Acceptability Evaluation. All quotes will be evaluated against the Technical Acceptability factor on a pass/fail basis. A quote must be rated "Acceptable" to be eligible for award. Any quote rated "Unacceptable" will be removed from further consideration.

Step 2: Price Evaluation. The prices of all quotes rated "Acceptable" will be evaluated. The award will be made to the offeror with the lowest evaluated price among the technically acceptable quotes.

The evaluation factors are defined as follows:

Factor 1: Technical Acceptability

To receive an "Acceptable" rating for the Technical factor, the offeror's quote must clearly demonstrate the ability to meet all the salient characteristics and performance requirements outlined in the Statement of Work (SOW). A failure to meet any of the minimum requirements below will result in a rating of "Unacceptable." The Government will evaluate the offeror's submitted technical documentation against the following subfactors:

Subfactor Minimum Requirement (Acceptable / Unacceptable)

A. Core Components and Performance The quote must confirm the proposed generator meets or exceeds all specifications for Solar Capacity, Solar Charge Controller, Inverter, Battery Type, and Battery Capacity as defined in SOW Section 3.0.

B. Power Output The quote must confirm the proposed generator meets the requirements for Delivery Voltage, Sustained Continuous Load, and Peak Instantaneous Load as defined in SOW Section 3.0.

C. Backup Power System The quote must confirm the secondary power source is propane-fired (NOT a solar generator) and that power switching is automatic, as defined in SOW Section 3.0.

D. Physical and Operational Requirements The quote must confirm the system is skid or wheel-mounted, capable of 24/7 operations, of recent vintage (not more than 5 years old), will be tested prior to delivery, and will have posted operating instructions, as defined in SOW Section 3.0.

Factor 2: Price

The price evaluation will be conducted on all quotes that receive an "Acceptable" rating for the Technical Acceptability factor. The Government will evaluate the offeror's total proposed price, which will be calculated by adding the price for the Base Year and the price for the Option Year 1, as specified in the solicitation's pricing schedule. The award will be made to the technically acceptable offeror with the lowest total evaluated price.

Shall be provided with the following capabilities, features and specifications

Solar Capacity: 2.88kW

Solar Charge Controller: 150V/60A Victron MPPT x 2 (similar unit that meets or exceeds performance of Victron is acceptable)

Inverter/Charger System: 240VAC/48VDC/6000W

Battery Type: Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4)

Nominal Battery Capacity: 800Ah

Total LiFePO4 Battery Bank Capacity: 20,480Wh

Delivery Voltage: 240VAC

Sustained Continuous Load: 240VAC/7.5 amps (1800 watts)

Peak Instantaneous (Spike) Load: 240VAC/15 amps (3600 watts)

Secondary power must NOT be a solar generator.

Secondary power must be propane.

Switching between primary and backup inverters shall be automatic

All equipment shall be on a skid mount or wheels

Continuous running time for 24/7 operations

Equipment shall be of recent vintage (not more than five years old), clean, and well maintained

Equipment shall have been tested within two weeks prior to delivery

Equipment shall have posted operating instructions in the vicinity of the control panel that clearly state how to start, stop, and operate the solar generator

(b) Options (if applicable). The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. The evaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) . A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer furnished to the Notice of award successful Offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the

Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
