FAR 52.212-2(a) is tailored to read as follows: (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. The following factor will be used to evaluate offers: (1) The vendor shall meet all solicitation requirements. Technical capability - Acceptable or not acceptable. (2) PRICE (Total) - The total Firm-Fixed price shall include all items listed on schedule to include shipping to be eligible for consideration of award. The quote must accurately cover all items listed in the schedule. (3) Basis of Award -- The Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process will be the basis for selection of an awardee. Only those quotes determined to be technically acceptable will go forward to be evaluated on Price. Award will be made to the responsive offeror whose offer represents the best value to the Government. Best value will result from selection of the offer that meets or exceeds the requirements for non-cost factors and has the Lowest Total Price. To be eligible for award, a quotation must meet all technical requirements, conform to all required terms and conditions, and provide all information required. The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's 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 later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received. (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.
