EVALUATION CRITERIA AND BASIS FOR AWARD The Government intends to award a contract from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose quotation, conforming to the solicitation, will be lowest price technically acceptable to the Government. The specifications document will be used to evaluate quotes. Technically Acceptable: Technically acceptable means that the Offeror provides a quote that meets all the specifications and requirements of the Line Items. If an Offeror does not indicate how its proposed cases meet a certain minimum requirement, NIST will determine that it does not. Price will be evaluated to determine that total price is consistent with the technical portion of the quotation and is a fair and reasonable overall price to the Government. NIST intends to evaluate quotes and issue a contract based on the initial quotes received. Therefore, the Offeror's initial quote should contain the Offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. NIST reserves the right to request revised quotes from, or negotiate final contract terms with, one or more, but not all, Offerors if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary.
