This acquisition will utilize Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procedures in accordance with FAR 15.101-2. Technical tradeoffs will not be made and no additional credit will be given for exceeding acceptability. Award will be made to the technically acceptable Offeror with the lowest evaluated cost or price, which is deemed responsible in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation and whose quote conforms to the solicitation requirements. The solicitation requirements include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and any brand name requirements. Only new products will be considered unless specifically noted in the solicitation. The Government reserves the right to award without discussions. Therefore, each initial offer should contain the Offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined necessary by the Contracting Officer. (b) Evaluation Methodology. Technical acceptability will be evaluated starting with the lowest priced quote and will continue until a quote is found to be technically acceptable. Once one is found to be technically acceptable no other quotes will be evaluated. The Government technical evaluation team will evaluate the technical proposals on a pass/fail basis, assigning ratings of Acceptable or Unacceptable. Award will be made to the lowest evaluated priced quote that is found to be technically acceptable. 1. Technical (Acceptable / Unacceptable) - Items quoted meet the description of the line items in the solicitation to include any brand name requirement. 2. Past Performance (Acceptable / Unacceptable) - Information will be pulled from Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), and local past performance databases to verify that negative past performance information does not exist. (c) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (d) 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. ***Be sure you have filled out all the Certifications and Representations on the SAM website.
