The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to that responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be the most advantageous to the Government technically. The following factors shall be used to evaluate the offers: technical capability of the item offered to meet the Government requirement, price, and past performance.
