Government has determined that best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable offer with the lowest total price; therefore, Government will evaluate offers based on lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA). Award will be made on the basis of the lowest total price of offerors meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-price factors. Quotes that do not include all requested information in FAR 52.212-1 in 5.1.1 will be considered nonresponsive. The following factor(s) shall be used to evaluate offers: 1. Price: 1.1. Government will rank offers received by lowest total price and will then determine Technical Acceptability of each offer. If the Government receives three (3) offers or fewer, all quotes will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. If the Government receives more than three (3) quotes, the Government will only select the three (3) lowest total priced offers to evaluate for Technical Acceptability. If any of the three lowest total priced offers are deemed Technically Unacceptable, the Government reserves the right to evaluate additional offers for technical acceptability if it is determined to be in the Government’s best interest. 1.2. Price will be evaluated using the total evaluated price (TEP) on the bottom-line price for the entire effort, inclusive of all options. A price is reasonable if, in its nature and amount, it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business. The Government may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to ensure a fair and reasonable price. Some of those techniques are, but not limited to, comparison of quoted prices received in response to the solicitation and/or comparison of quoted prices with the Independent Government Estimate. To be eligible for award an offeror’s total price must be determined fair and reasonable. 1.3. FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, has been included. In order to evaluate the price for this extension, we will use half o the price of the final option year. The TEP for this contract will include the base year, all four option years, and the six-month extension. 1.4. Pricing must meet the requirements/specifications in FAR 52.212-1 in 5.1.2. No additional information from the offeror will be required if the price is based on adequate price competition.? In the event adequate price competition does not exist, the contracting officer will obtain information from the offeror to the extent required to determine the reasonableness of the offered prices. 2. Non-price Factor/Technical Evaluation: 2.1. Technical Criteria: 2.1.1. The Government shall evaluate technical criteria provided IAW 5.1.3. Technical criteria will receive a rating of acceptable or unacceptable. If all required technical criteria is not provided, offer will be considered nonresponsive to this solicitation and will not be eligible for award. 2.2. Past Experience: 2.2.1. The Government shall evaluate past experience provided IAW 5.1.4. Past experience will receive a rating of acceptable or unacceptable. If all required past experience is not provided, offer will be considered nonresponsive to this solicitation and will not be eligible for award. (End of Provision)
