Offers that do not meet the technical capability requirements of the Statement of Work shall not be selected regardless of price. (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. (d) All Offerors are advised that, in the interest of efficiency, the Government reserves the right to conduct the review in the most effective manner. Specifically, the Government may first sort the quotes of all Offerors by price from lowest price to the highest. Thereafter, the Government will review the Technical Capability of the lowest priced quote only. If the lowest priced Offeror s Technical Capability is determined to be acceptable and meets the requirements, the Government may make award to that Offeror without further reviews of the remaining Offerors Technical Capability. If the lowest priced Offeror s Technical Capability is determined to not meet the requirement, then the Government may review the Technical Capability next lowest priced quote, and so on, until the Government reaches a quote that is determined to meet the Technical Capability requirements.
