However, the Government reserves the right to evaluate additional quotes for technical acceptability.

Best Value will be based on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach IAW FAR 15.101-2.

The proposal is not identified in the Schedule of Supplies (Atch 2); and on a detailed parts list and written plan with a company letterhead. Price Evaluation. The following process will be followed among “Acceptable” quotes from the criteria in 6(i): Total evaluated price will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified in the Schedule of Supplies (See Atch 2) by the proposed unit price for each Contract Line-Item Number (CLIN). The extended amounts for each CLIN will then be totaled for an overall Total Evaluated Price. If three (3) or fewer quotes are received, the Government will evaluate all quotes for technical acceptability. If more than three (3) quotes are received, the Government will evaluate the three (3) lowest priced quotes for technical acceptability. However, the Government reserves the right to evaluate additional quotes for technical acceptability if deemed to be in the Government’s best interest.
