TECHNICAL PROPOSAL

Evaluation of all offers will be based on a lowest price technically acceptable basis. Offerors shall submit a technical proposal that demonstrates their ability to perform all aspects of the Minimum Specifications For A Direct-Reading Measurement System (Attachment 001). Failure to demonstrate or indicate that the contractor's proposal meets each of the Government's requirements listed in the Minimum Specifications For A Direct-Reading Measurement System will result in an overall rating of unacceptable and will not be considered for award. Failure to submit a technical proposal with all required information shall result in an overall rating of unacceptable. The technical proposal will be evaluated as either acceptable or unacceptable. Failure to address any aspect of the Minimum Specifications For A Direct-Reading Measurement System will result in an overall unacceptable rating.

ACCEPTABLE: Proposal clearly meets the requirements of the solicitation.

UNACCEPTABLE: Proposal does not clearly meet the requirements of the solicitation.

The technical proposal must receive an overall rating of acceptable. A single unacceptable rating will result in an overall rating of unacceptable.

PRICE

The Government will evaluate total price by adding the price for all items. The Government may reject a bid as non-responsive or a proposal as unacceptable if it is materially unbalanced as to prices offered for items. An offer is unbalanced when it is based on prices significantly less than cost for some work and prices which are significantly overstated for other work.
