NOTE: The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)).

However, the government reserves the right to enter into negotiations.

The following factors will be evaluated:

The Government will evaluate the factors for acceptability or non acceptability for FACTOR 1 and 2:

Acceptable: The Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation Unacceptable: The Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the proposal.

Price will be evaluated for reasonableness against the competition and the IGE.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement.

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.
