Technical acceptability will be defined as follows: Technical Evaluation Ratings Rating Description Acceptable Quote meets all of the requirements identified. Unacceptable Quote does not meet all of the requirements identified. Contractors who fail to possess acceptable technical capability will not be considered for award and the other elements of their quotation will not be evaluated. Price: The estimated amount for each line item will be added together to determine the total estimated price, which will become the evaluated price. The vendor’s proposed price will be evaluated on the basis of price reasonableness. All prices must be considered fair and reasonable as determined by the Government. Price quote shall be held firm and valid for sixty (60) days. The completion and submission of the above items will constitute a quote and will be considered the vendor’s unconditional assent to the terms and conditions of this Solicitation and any attachments and/or exhibits.

Quotations determined to be technically unacceptable shall not be further evaluated for award. Of the technically acceptable quotations, the Government reserves the right to award to other than lowest price based upon a selection determined to be the best value to the Government, price and other factors considered. Although price is considered lesser in importance relative to delivery, it has the potential to become more significant during the evaluation process. The importance of price will increase as the degree of equity in a respondent’s non-cost quotations rise. The importance of price will also increase when a quotation’s price is so significantly high as to diminish the value to the Government that might have been gained under the other aspects of the quotation. If at any point in the evaluation all respondents are determined to have submitted equal or generally, equivalent non-cost quotations, price may become the factor in determining the contractor selected for award.
