Contractor experience is mandatory: documentation of at least two successfully completed projects involving major repair or replacement of mechanical components on commercial or industrial cooling towers within the preceding five years, with project descriptions, performance dates, and customer points of contact. Failure to provide this documentation results in technical rejection and ineligibility for award.

Evaluation uses Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA). Technical evaluation assesses salient characteristics (cooling tower repair scope and motor replacement) and delivery lead time as mandatory subfactors; both must receive "Acceptable" ratings or the offer is rejected. Past performance is evaluated using CAGE code, CPARS, and SAM.gov data; unknown past performance is rated acceptable. Award is made to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offeror.
