The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:" 1. Technical. Capability of the item offered to meet the Government requirements as stated in the purchase description; and 2. Price. Award will be based on technical acceptability (acceptable or not acceptable) and then lowest total evaluated price. Technical acceptability will be determined solely on the content and merit of the information submitted in response to this request for quotation. Technical Tradeoffs will not be made and no additional credit will be given for exceeding Government requirements as stated in the purchase description. All offeror's shall provide with their proposal: descriptive literature, brochures, and a technical proposal response. Offerors must submit sufficient technical literature, documentation, etc., in order for the Government to make an adequate technical assessment of the proposed unit. The technical proposal response MUST include a written line-by-line response to each paragraph number of the purchase description and provide sufficient supporting technical literature. Solely restating the paragraphs of the purchase description or limiting the response to a simple statement of compliance is not acceptable. Where the technical literature demonstrates that the proposed unit meets the requirement of a specific purchase description paragraph, you may reference that page and paragraph of the technical literature in your technical response in lieu of restating it. The total evaluated price will be calculated as follows: (1) On the basic year, the evaluated price will be the unit price proposed multiplied by the specified unit quantity (e.g. 2 EACH). (2) For the option years, the evaluated price will be the unit price proposed multiplied by the maximum quantity available on the Option CLIN. Offeror's are advised that the evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise such options. (3) The sum of all CLINs (Basic Year and Options) will represent the total evaluated 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.
