The evaluation methodology will be Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA). The LPTA process is used in competitive, negotiated contracting where the best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable proposal with the lowest evaluated price. The government will first evaluate all offerors for technical acceptability. Those offers that receive an - Acceptable technical rating will be ranked in order from lowest to highest price. Within that ranking, the offeror with the lowest price will receive the award (see attached evaluation procedures under Clause 52.212-1).

Proposals will be evaluated to determine if the salient characteristics for this requirement are met, and price analysis will be performed. Proposals outside the initial evaluation pool will not be evaluated; however, the Government reserves the right to pull in the next lowest priced proposal(s) to ensure adequate competition or it is in the best interest of the Government. Exchanges. The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without exchanges. Therefore, each offer should contain the Offeror's best terms from a price estimate and technical standpoint. Any subfactor or criteria element evaluated as - Unacceptable will render the entire proposal as ineligible for award.

Exchanges are fluid interaction(s) between the Contracting Officer (CO) and the Offerors that may address any aspect of the proposal. Offerors responses to exchanges will be considered in making the selection decision.
