(viii) - FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation -- Commercial Items (a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. Award will be made using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach; the Government will award to the lowest priced offeror that is determined technically acceptable. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Factor 1: Technical Capability (ability of the item(s) offered to meet the agency need) A vendor's quotation will be considered technically acceptable if it offers the Brand Name requested, or if offering an "equal" product. Technical capability will be evaluated and the factor will be rated as Acceptable or Unacceptable. Acceptable is defined as the quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Unacceptable is defined as the quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. If quoting an "equal" product, offeror must provide specifications/literature to show how the "equal" product meets the requirements. Quotations that do not meet these requirements will be considered unacceptable and will not be considered for award. Factor 2: Price Price will be evaluated in order to determine best value in accordance with FAR 8.404(d) and 8.405-2(d). The quote shall identify whether products are open market or Federal Supply Schedule (FSS). The quote shall also identify any additional discounts from the schedule prices provided. In accordance with FAR 8.404(d), although GSA has already negotiated fair and reasonable pricing, the U.S. Air Force, as the ordering activity, is seeking additional discounts from the scheduled prices before award is made. AWARD PROCESS: The Government will first evaluate all quotations on an acceptable/unacceptable basis to determine whether the quote meets the Technical Capability factor. The offeror, who submits the lowest price, meets the specifications defined in this RFQ will receive the award. The award will be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offerors.
