SECTION II. EVALUATION PROCEDURES

9) Evaluation Procedure:

A. Basis for Award

1) The Government reserves the right to eliminate from consideration for award all offers that do not meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation, at any time prior to award of the contract; to negotiate with offerors in the competitive range; and to award the contract to the offeror submitting the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) proposal.

2) The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications). The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer determines them to be necessary.

3) The Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection procedure is appropriate for this acquisition because the best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable proposal(s) with the lowest evaluated price.

4) Reverse Auctions will be considered with this requirement.

5) An overall technical rating must be at least “ACCEPTABLE” in order to be eligible for award. An “UNACCEPTABLE” rating in any factor results in the overall technical proposal being rated “UNACCEPTABLE”. A final overall technical rating of “UNACCEPTABLE” makes the proposal ineligible for award.
