ii. Technical Acceptance:

a. Complete quote (as indicated under “Quote Preparation Instructions”)

b. Meets or exceeds the minimum specifications of the requested items

B. EVALUATION OF QUOTES:

Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA): Following closure of this combined Synopsis/Solicitation all quotes will placed in order from lowest to highest priced. The evaluation team will start with the lowest Quote and work to the highest determining Technical Acceptability. The lowest three Quotes deemed Technically Acceptable will be considered for award. Once three quotes have met the standards and have been deemed Technically Acceptable, all evaluations will stop and an award will be made. Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price Quote meeting the acceptability standards for non-cost factors. Failure to meet a technical requirement may result in an offer being determined technically unacceptable.

Each technical requirement set forth below will receive a rating of acceptable/unacceptable based on the assessed strengths and deficiencies of each offeror’s quote as they relate to each technical requirement.

The Government reserves the right to conduct a price evaluation of each offeror's quote to determine whether or not each quote complies with the stated criteria: "Reasonableness" and “Realism".

A price reasonableness analysis is primarily concerned with determining whether or not an offered price is too high. For price to be reasonable, it must represent a price that provides value to the Government in relation to given to prices in the market and functional capabilities of the offeror.

A price realism analysis is primarily concerned with determining whether or not an offered price is too low. Realism is evaluated by assessing the compatibility of proposed costs with proposal scope and effort. Proposals unrealistically low in price, when compared to the Government estimate, and/or market conditions evidenced by other competitive proposals received, may be indicative of an inherent lack of understanding of the solicitation requirements and may result in proposal rejection without discussion. Any inconsistency, whether real or apparent, between proposed performance and price must be clearly explained in the price proposal. The burden of proof of price realism rests solely with the offeror.

Below is the evaluation criteria listed in FAR 52.212-2:

b. Table 1 with pricing for items as indicated
