BASIS FOR AWARD

A Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach will be used; the evaluation criteria are described herein. The policies and procedures under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items and FAR Part 19, Small Business Program, will be utilized for this procurement. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to a responsible Contractor whose offer conforms to the solicitation and will be most advantageous to the Government. A basis for trade-offs between cost/price and non-cost/price factors are not permitted.

Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose quote is deemed technically acceptable (technical capability) and offers the lowest price.

The Government will evaluate the offeror’s technical proposal to determine whether it satisfies the minimum for successful contract performance. In order to be considered for award, offerors offer must receive “acceptable” rating in every non priced factor and sub factor.

The Government intends to evaluate offers and award one (1) contract without discussions with offerors.

Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain its best terms from a technical and price standpoint.

However, in accordance with (IAW) FAR Part 15.306, should discussions become necessary, the Government reserves the right to hold them. If this occurs, a competitive range will be determined and offerors notified. The competitive range may be limited for purposes of efficiency IAW FAR Part 15.306 (c)(2).

The Contracting Officer will make a determination of responsibility in accordance with the standards of FAR 9.104. In order to be determined responsible, a prospective contractor must meet all standards of FAR 9.104-1.
