(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible

offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

(i) technical capability of the service offered to meet the Government requirement;

The lowest priced offer will be evaluated for technical acceptability. If found technically

acceptable award will be made without further consideration. If found technically unacceptable

the government will evaluate the next lowest offer for technical acceptability until award can be made to the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror. Past Performance will not be

evaluated. Therefore, the offeror’s initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a

price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct

discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. Offers that fail to

furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the

solicitation may be excluded from consideration. This will be a lowest price technically acceptable purchase. Technical acceptability – at a minimum – will consist of meeting all characteristics, including those above and all items listed in Attachment 1 – Performance Work Statement.

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer furnished to the successful offeror does not constitute a final award. The contract is not legally binding until bilaterally signed by the Contracting Officer and returned.
