An offeror will be determined technically acceptable if no exception is taken to the specifications and requirements of the RFQ. Award will be based on both price and past performance. Each offeror's quoted price will be evaluated for reasonableness. Price will always be an important factor; therefore, offerors should make diligent efforts to control costs and submit fairly priced offers. Past performance will be evaluated based on relevancy (size/scope/complexity), quality of product/service, timeliness of delivery/performance and business relations (customer service). To be considered for award an offeror must have a satisfactory or better past performance record based upon information available to the contracting officer [normally the Contractor Performance Assessment Report (CPAR)] and offer a reasonable price. The offeror may be asked to submit references that can provide relevant past performance information if the contracting officer cannot locate CPAR information.
