7.  Basis for Award:  The Government will award a single firm-fixed-price purchase order to the responsible quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. In addition to price, the following factor shall be used to evaluate quotes:

(i) Technical capability of the service quoted to meet the Government requirement:  The quoted service must clearly meet the requirements of the attached SOW.  Thus, the quote needs to be accompanied by sufficient information to enable the Government to determine the technical capability, thus acceptability, of the quoted service.  However, if the information is insufficient, or does not clearly demonstrate complete understanding of the requirement and the capability to meet the requirements of the SOW, then the quote may be determined unacceptable, with no further consideration. 

If the Government receives three (3) or fewer initial quotes all quotes will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. If the Government receives three (3) or more initial quotes, the Government will only select the three (3) lowest priced quotes and then evaluate them for Technical Acceptability. The Government reserves the right to evaluate additional quotes for technical acceptability if in the Government’s best interest. If additional quotes are evaluated for technical acceptability, they will be selected in the order of price.

(ii) Price: Award will be made to the quoter whose quote is the lowest priced amongst quoters who have been determined acceptable with regards to the technical capability of the service proposed. Please provide a quote for the line item listed on the Schedule of Supplies/Services (Attachment 3).
