CAUTION NOTICES

• Best Value Source Selection. This acquisition is utilizing the Low Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) Best Value Method, FAR 15.101-2. As such, no “trade-off” applies and the Government intends to award to the low priced firm who is deemed “TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE.”

Technical acceptability is being defined herein as agreement to the delivery schedule, satisfactory SPRS score and compliance with the terms and conditions of the solicitation. “TECHNICALLY UNACCEPTABLE” is defined as inability to meet delivery requirements, unsatisfactory SPRS score and inability to comply with the terms and conditions of the solicitation.

• From among the technically acceptable firms, the Government will then select the lowest price offeror and determine if that firm is responsible, complies with the terms and conditions of the solicitation and an award to that firm is in the best interest of the Government. If the firm fits these criteria, award will be made to them. If not, the Government will review each subsequent technically acceptable low-priced offer until one is identified that does meet the criteria, in which case award will be made to that firm.

• The Government reserves the right to conduct negotiations with a competitive range group of offerors from among the technically acceptable firms, based on price and SPRS score. If negotiations are conducted, award will be made to low priced offer (based on final proposal revision closing, date/time) that is technically acceptable, responsible and compliant with solicitation terms and conditions.
