BASIS OF AWARD:


Award shall be made to the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) quote, based upon technical acceptability and price. This will be a firm fixed price purchase order.
The Government intends to evaluate quotations and issue a purchase order based on the initial quotations received. Therefore, the vendor's initial quotation should contain the vendor's 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, vendors 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. The Government may reject any or all quotations if such action is in the public interest; and issue a purchase order to other than the vendor with the lowest priced quotation.


Award shall be made to the vendor with the lowest priced, technically acceptable quote.


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 or exceeds 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.
