(xi) Basis for Award: This is a lowest priced technically acceptable competition. The Government will select the lowest priced Offeror and evaluate that for technical acceptability. If it is found to be technically acceptable, no other offers will be evaluated.

In this way, it is possible that not all quotes submitted will be evaluated. The Government reserves the right not enter into clarifications sessions with the Offeror being evaluated. Quote Contents: The Government will evaluate the submitted quote using a lowest-priced technically acceptable method as follows: Technical Acceptability: The Government shall select the lowest priced offeror and evaluate that for technical acceptability. If it is found to be technically acceptable no other offers shall be evaluated. If the lowest-priced offer is found to be technically unacceptable, the Government shall evaluate the second-lowest priced offer. Etc. In this way it is possible that not all quotes submitted shall be evaluated. Therefore, in order to determine whether your company is technically acceptable, your quote shall have to include additional information (such as any other documentation your company feels will be helpful in ensuring they are technical acceptable). Responsibility Determination: In order to be considered acceptable, your company must be listed in the System for Award Management (www.sam.gov). Those who provide quotes but are not listed in the System for Award Management shall be considered technically unacceptable and not eligible for award. Please provide your DUNS number in your quote so the Government can confirm your entry in the System for Award Management (as well as other systems [if used, as this shall be optional by the discretion of the Government] such as CPARS to check responsibility). If your company cannot be determined to be responsible then you may not be eligible for award. Price: The Government will evaluate the total overall price to determine price fairness and reasonableness.
