The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and has the lowest evaluated price of all offers meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors.

The technical acceptability element of the evaluation will be a determination as to whether the proposed product meets the performance characteristics and specifications in the solicitation.

To ensure sufficient information is available, vendors must furnish as part of their proposal all descriptive material (such as cuts, illustrations, drawings, or other information) necessary for the Government to determine whether the product meets the performance characteristics and specifications of the requirement. If the offeror proposes to modify a product so as to conform to the requirement of this solicitation, the offeror shall include a clear description of such proposed modifications and clearly mark any descriptive materials to show modifications.

Past Performance will be evaluated and each offer will be given a rating of either acceptable or unacceptable. “Acceptable” means that the Government has high confidence that the offeror can complete the terms of the contract, and “unacceptable” means that the Government has very low confidence the offeror can complete the terms of the contract. For the purposes this evaluation, please provide one (1) record of past performance in the last two (2) years.

This assessment will consider each offeror's demonstrated recent (last two (2) years) record of performance in supplying products similar in complexity, scope and dollar value to the requirements being acquired by this RFP.

Price will be evaluated based on the total proposed price, including options, (if any). Contract award will be made to the lowest price technically acceptable offeror that receives an acceptable past performance rating.
