The Government intends to award a firm-fixed price contract to the responsible vendor whose quote conforming to the solicitation provides the Best Value to the Government. “Best value” means the expected outcome of an acquisition that, in the Government’s estimation, provides the greatest overall benefit in response to the requirement. In accordance with FAR 12.602 & FAR 13.106-2, technical, price & readily available past performance information will be considered in the streamlined evaluation. This may result in award being made to a higher-rated, higher-priced quote. Technical is somewhat more important than Past Performance. Past Performance is somewhat more important than the Price factor. The Government’s selection of a higher-rated, higher-priced quote will be supported by a determination that the technical/past performance superiority warrants the additional cost involved. Offerors are encouraged to submit past performance references. Past performance may be based on one or more of the following: Contracting Officer’s prior knowledge/experience; customer past performance inquiry replies; PPIRS/FAPIIS, or any other reasonable basis. While the Government and the Source Selection Authority will strive for maximum objectivity, the evaluation process, by its nature, is subjective and therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire evaluation process.

All quoted items must be covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
