Technically acceptable is defined as the offeror’s ability to meet all the requirements/salient characteristics identified in the Statement of Work/Specification and the offeror’s demonstrated ability to perform the contract successfully through Past Performance. Only the lowest priced offer will be evaluated for technical acceptability. If the lowest priced offer is found not to be technically acceptable, then the next lowest priced offer will be evaluated. This process will continue until a technically acceptable offer is identified; not all offers will be evaluated. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: (1) Technical, (2) Past Performance, and (3) Price Technical (Pass/Fail) The government will evaluate the offeror’s ability and method/approach to providing all the requirements in the Statement of Work as identified in their technical section/proposal. Technical will be rated as to the extent the offeror can clearly and fully demonstrate that it has a thorough understanding of the requirements and can successfully provide the requirements. Offerors that cannot specifically address their ability and method/approach to providing all the requirements in the Statement of Work or that do not submit a Technical Section with their offer may be rejected without further consideration. Past Performance (Pass/Fail) The Government will evaluate an offeror’s past performance to determine the degree to which current and previous contract efforts indicate the probability of the offeror successfully accomplishing/performing the requirements of the Statement of Work. The currency and relevancy of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor’s performance will be considered. Past performance information received from the offeror shall be within the past 3 years or ongoing and be relevant to this requirement (i.e. the same or similar requirements.) Only relevant past performance will be evaluated.

Offerors are required to provide a unit price for all items. A zero dollar figure ($0.00) unit price means the Offeror will provide the service or supply at no charge to the Government. Unit price left blank or annotated with something other than a dollar figure will be considered unacceptable.
