The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Technical Capability, Delivery Schedule, and Price. The source selection method is Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA).

The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement.

(c)A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
