The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: 1.Technical Acceptability. 2. Price. The Government will evaluate the total price of the offer for the award purposes. (1) If the lowest priced evaluated offer is judged to have "Technical Acceptability" assessment, award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers. If the lowest priced offeror is not judged to have "Technical Acceptability," the next lowest priced offeror will be evaluated and the process will continue (in order by price) until an offeror is judged to have "Technical Acceptability." An award, pending availability of funds, will be made to the lowest priced, technically acceptable, responsible offeror who responds to all items included in the solicitation (all or none) and complies with the terms of the Request for Proposal (RFP). (2) These are the technical areas that we will evaluate to determine the technical acceptability: a. Company's three year history of similar projects, including whether any Notices of Violation were received. Receipt of any Notice of Violations will not alone disqualify quotes. b. Reasonableness of proposed schedule. The Air Force estimates a period of performance of 154 days from Notice to Proceed. (3) The offers will be evaluated by key government personnel, rating the aforementioned technical areas on a pass or fail basis. Any offer receiving a "fail" rating on any of the technical areas will be ineligible and not considered for contract award. Technical and past performance, when combined, are EQUAL. However, quotes which are not rated as Technically Acceptable will be eliminated from the competition and receive no further consideration. (b) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
