Should discus sions be deemed necessary due to proposal weakness, deficiency, or other issues that must be addressed before award, they will be conducted either orally or in writing, with only those offerors determined to competitive range by successfully meeting the mi nimum requirements. II. Evaluation Factors for Award Award will go to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation, and represents the best overall value to the Government in terms of the evaluation areas of Technical Capability and Price, subject to proposals being found minimally acc eptable. Because Technical Capability and Price (listed in their descending order of importance) will be considered, the award will not necessarily go to the low offeror. Technical Capability is more important than Price. III. Evaluation of Minimum Requirements Offerors will first be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis to determine whether they satisfy the ?Minimum Requirements? identified in paragraph VII, items 1-23 of the Statement of Work. An offeror will be considered to have an ?Acceptable? propo sal only if the proposal is found to clearly meet each of the minimum requirements included in paragraphs listed above. Any offer found unacceptable in one or more or the identified minimum requirements will not be considered for further evaluation or awa rd. IV. Best Value Evaluation. In addition to the evaluation of minimum requirements, each offeror shall be evaluated in terms of Technical Capability and Price as follows: A. TECHNICAL CAPABILITY 1. System Quality Proposals will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the system offered exceeds the minimum requirements, outlined in Section VII items 1-23, to the benefit of the Government. Proposals exceeding the minimum requirements will be more favorably con sidered, with preference given to those exceeding the minimum requirements identified in Section VII, items 1, 2, and 3 as listed in their descending order of importance.

B. PRICE 1. Price Reasonableness a) The evaluation of price will be performed on the offeror?s proposal for the purpose of determining Price Reasonableness. b) Reasonableness will be evaluated pursuant to FAR 31.201-3 to establish that the price does not exceed what a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business would normally incur. 2.

It is not anticipated that addi tional funding will be received. b) For evaluation purposes, offers received whose total amount exceeds $221,000.00, shall be deemed unaffordable, and therefore, will not be considered for award.
