Basis for Award: The Government will consider price and technical non-price factors to determine the quotation that represents the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) quote. The Government will not use the formal source selection procedures described in FAR part 15. The Government will evaluate quotations utilizing the procedures of FAR 13.106-2 Evaluation of quotations or offers.

Evaluation Criteria: The quotations will be evaluated under two factors: Price, and Technical Capability.

TECHNICAL CAPABILITY: Evaluation of Technical Capability will be based on the information provided in the quotation. Documentation submitted in the quotation shall be evaluated to determine that the proposed equipment meets the Governments minimum required specifications. Failure to clearly and unambiguously demonstrate this will result in an unacceptable technical rating.

PRICE: Price shall be evaluated for reasonableness.

The Government intends to evaluate quotations and issue a purchase order based on the initial quotations received. Therefore, the initial quotation should contain the best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to request revised quotations from, or negotiate final purchase order terms with, one or more, but not all, quoters’ if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. However, the Contracting Officer will not establish a competitive range, conduct discussions, or otherwise use the procedures described at FAR 15.306.
