Quotes will be evaluated as described below. (1) Solicitation Requirements.

Quotes that are incomplete or missing information may be considered non-responsive and excluded from the evaluation. (2) Price Evaluation. The total evaluated price will be determined by adding together the extended amounts quoted for each line item. The extended amounts will be confirmed by multiplying each line item quantity by the quoted unit price. If there is a conflict between the quoted unit prices and extended amounts, the unit price shall be used to determine the total evaluated price. Any discounts identified in the quote will be included in the evaluation of the total evaluated price. No advantage will accrue to a vendor who submits a quote for an unreasonably low price. The lowest price quote may not necessarily be selected. Failure to propose for any line item may cause the vendor’s quote may be considered non-responsive and excluded from the evaluation. The price evaluation will document the reasonableness of the quoted price. (3) Technical Evaluation. The evaluation team will review the descriptive literature to determine if quoted products meet the salient characteristics identified in this solicitation. The technical information will be evaluated on a pass/fail basis. A quote may pass the technical evaluation if a quote meets all of the salient characteristics described in I. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENTS. Quote that meets all of the salient characteristics = Passing Technical Evaluation (4) Past Performance Evaluation.

A quoter will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably if they do not have a record of past performance in SPRS under the PSC of the items being purchased. A quoter may pass the past performance evaluation if there are no negative records, derogatory statements, or tax liabilities listed for the quoter that would preclude them from award of a government contract. (5) Best Value Decision. The contracting officer shall evaluate quotes considering technical information, price, and past performance information. The contracting officer will submit an offer to the quoter whose quote represents the best value to the Government.
