The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotations: (1) Technical Capability; (2) Price; and (3) Present and Past Performance. (a) Basis for Award. Government evaluation objective is to award to the responsive responsible firm whose quotation is technically acceptable and will provide the best value to the Government. Technical and past performance, when combined, are approximately equal in importance to price. This evaluation process may result in an award to other than the low quotation. 1. Technical Capability.

Quotations rated technically acceptable shall then be ranked by price (See also paragraph (d) below). The prices will be evaluated for realism, and reasonableness. If the lowest price technical acceptable quotation is judged to have a Substantial Confidence performance assessment, that quotation represents the best value for the Government, the evaluation process stops at this point, and award is made. a. Realism: For prices to be realistic, the overall price in an Firm's quotation must: (1) be realistic for the type of work to be performed (2) reflect a clear understanding of the requirements (3) Reflect what it would cost to perform operating with reasonable economy and efficiency. b.

The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that a quotation is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). f. A written notice of award or acceptance of a quotation mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time specified in the quotation, shall result in a binding order without further action by either party. Before the firm's specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quotation (or part of a quotation), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

The firm's performance will be assessed, specifically the quality and satisfaction rating for relevant contractual commitments on going or completed within the past five (5) years based on replies received from the past performance questionnaires and information obtained or available to this office, other Government offices or other private sources. Relevant performance includes performance of efforts involving services that are similar or greater in scope, magnitude and complexity that the effort described in this solicitation.
