The Government reserves the right to award without discussions. The Government will award a purchase order resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government and whose quote is the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA). The quote with the lowest evaluated price will be evaluated for technical acceptability and acceptable past performance. Only if that quote is found to be technically unacceptable or to have unacceptable past performance will the evaluation proceed to the quote with the next lowest evaluated price. This process will continue until the lowest priced technically acceptable quote, with acceptable past performance, is found. For this solicitation, the evaluation factors are: 1. TECHNICAL AND MANAGEMENT APPROACH (non-price) The quoter must provide a written submission addressing how the quoter will meet all requirements of the Statement of Work (SOW). The submission should fully outline the capabilities and methodology to provide the services as required. 2.

Quoters should provide up to three (3) references for the same or similar work performed for Federal, State, and local government and private clients. A quoter may also provide information on problems encountered on the identified projects and the quoter’s corrective actions. The Government will consider this information, as well as information obtained from any other sources, when evaluating the quoter’s past performance.
