The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Price and Technical Acceptability. All quotes will be ranked based on price. Only the lowest priced quote will be evaluated for technical acceptability, unless the lowest priced quote is deemed technically unacceptable. If the lowest quote is deemed technically unacceptable, the next lowest quote will be considered, and so on until an offeror is identified to be technically acceptable. 1. Price: Quotes will be ranked first based on price from high to low. The price evaluation will document the realism, reasonableness, and completeness of the total evaluated price. 2. Technical: The lowest offeror will move forward to the technical evaluation. If the lowest priced quote is deemed technically unacceptable, the Government will evaluate the technical acceptability of the next lowest offeror and so on until an awardee is identified. The award will be made to the lowest evaluated price whose offer is deemed technically acceptable. TECHNICAL CRITERIA RATINGS RATING DEFINITION Acceptable Quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Unacceptable Quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). 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. ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2: All responsible small business sources may submit a quote, which will be considered by the Government. Award will be made to the offeror with the lowest priced technically acceptable quote.
