“LOWEST PRICE, TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE” EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

a. Basis for Award: Award of this order will be made on a competitive best value basis using the “lowest price, technically acceptable” basis. Evaluation will be made to identify all Offerors whose proposals are technically acceptable in accordance with the RFQ and the evaluation criteria set forth below. Award will be made to the Offeror from the pool of technically acceptable proposals, whose cost/price is lowest. Technical acceptability will be determined by evaluating Technical Capabilities/Specifications/Salient Characteristics and Past Performance.

All technical evaluation criteria must be rated Acceptable to be considered for award. Each Offeror must fully document and substantiate a cross mapping of their cost approach as it equates to the technical approach listed in the evaluation criteria. Please note that unsubstantiated costs that are considered unrealistic or unsupported or both may cause the overall technical evaluation to be rated Unacceptable.

b. Evaluation Criteria: Each Offeror’s quote will be evaluated using the following criteria.

Acceptable: A proposal is acceptable if it demonstrates to the government evaluators that the Offeror can provide:

Installation, initial on-site training, 1 year warranty, and calibration.

Unacceptable: A proposal will be deemed unacceptable if the Offeror fails to demonstrate the ability to meet the stated performance standards, or fails to provide installation, initial on-site training, 1 year warranty, and calibration or offers a technical approach that either does not meet and/or demonstrate an understanding of the requirements outlined in the PWS, or introduces too much risk.
