Quotes that do not include all requested information in FAR 52.212-1 in 5.1.1 will be considered nonresponsive. Award will be made to the offeror with the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA). The following factor(s) shall be used to evaluate offers: 1. Technical Capability: items meet the Government requirement/specifications in the description. If all requested information is not provided or does not meet the requirements identified, the Government will determine the quote to be nonresponsive. 2, Price: 2.1 The lowest priced quote will be evaluated for technical acceptability first. The Government will evaluate quotes for acceptability but will not rank the quotes by non-price factors. If the Government receives fewer than three (3) quotes, all quotes will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. If the Government receives more than three (3) quotes, the Government will only select the three (3) lowest priced quotes to evaluate for Technical Acceptability. The Government reserves the right to evaluate additional quotes for technical acceptability if it is in the Government's best interest to do so. 2.2 Price will be evaluated using the total evaluated price (TEP) on the bottom-line price for the entire effort.

The Government may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to ensure a fair and reasonable price. Some of those techniques are, but not limited to, comparison of quoted prices received in response to the solicitation and/or comparison of quoted prices with the Independent Government Estimate. Prices must be determined fair and reasonable. 2.3 No additional information from the offeror will be required if the price is based on adequate price competition.
