Quotes that do not include all requested information in FAR 52.212-1 stated above may be considered nonresponsive, therefore, may not be eligible for award. Award will be made to the responsible offeror with the lowest priced technically acceptable (LPTA) quote. The following factor(s) shall be used to evaluate offers: 1. Technical Capability: items meet the Government requirement/specifications IAW Attachment 3, Statement of Work and FAR 52.212-1 stated above. If all requested information is not provided or does not meet the requirements identified, the Government may determine the quote to be nonresponsive, therefore, may not be eligible for award. 2.

If the Government receives fewer than three (3) quotes, all quotes will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. If the Government receives three (3) or more quotes, the Government will only select the three (3) lowest priced quotes to evaluate for Technical Acceptability. The Government reserves the right to evaluate additional quotes for technical acceptability if it is in the Government’s best interest to do so. Price will be evaluated to ensure fair and reasonable pricing. 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. Prices must be determined fair and reasonable. 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. 3.
