Each quote shall be evaluated on an individual basis in accordance with the evaluation factors set-forth below. The factors are listed in order of importance: 5.1 Technical Specifications- Offeror shall meet all specifications as outlined. Offeror must demonstrate the ability to conform by providing drawings, operational specifications, photographs, art work and supporting literature to be evaluated and provide Product Warranty period for review and exchange policy. 5.2 Delivery- The offer shall provide the best expedited delivery schedule to meet the Government's need. 5.3 Price- The offeror's Fixed Price CLINs shall be evaluated by the total Firm Fixed Price for this proposal. Fixed price proposals will be reviewed for reasonableness, affordability, and realism to determine whether they reflect an understanding of the requirement or any significant unbalanced pricing. Cost may play an additional role since considerations of cost in terms of best value and affordability may be controlling in circumstances where two or more proposals are otherwise adjudged equal or when a technically superior proposal is at a cost that the Government cannot afford. The following adjectival rating table shall be used to rate the offers. The evaluator will use the appropriate table and select one of the adjectival ratings that most clearly reflect the assessment of the offer based on the established evaluation criteria. Price offers will not receive an adjectival rating but are considered. Adjectival Rating Table: ACCEPTABLE (A) - The offer meets the stated requirements. The response is considered complete in terms of the basic content and level of information the Government seeks for evaluation. There is a reasonable probability of success to meet the quantity and quality requirements and little risk that this Offeror would fail. MARGINAL (M) - The offer meets a minimum scope of the stated requirement. The response is considered minimal in terms of the basic content the Contractor was required to provide. The degree of success is low in providing the Government's need for this requirement. UNACCEPTABLE (U) - The proposal fails to meet the stated requirements. The response is considered deficient in terms of basic content and support the Government seeks for evaluation. The degree of risk is so high that there is little or no likelihood of success. 6.
