The evaluation of quotes shall be conducted utilizing the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation approach, based on an evaluation of quotes in the areas of Technical and Price Under this evaluation approach, a quote would not receive any additional credit for exceeding the established minimum defined requirements of technical acceptability. Discussions: The Government intends to evaluate quotes and make an award decision without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the initial quote should contain the offeror's best terms. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer determines them to be necessary. Evaluation Factors: (1) Technical (2) Price Evaluation Approach Careful, complete and impartial consideration will be given to all quotes received pursuant to this RFQ. A team of Government personnel will evaluate each quote in the areas described below. 1) Technical: The technical portion of the quote will be rated Acceptable or Unacceptable based on the assessment of the stated minimum requirements. In order for a quote to be rated Acceptable, Offerors are required to provide a brief (no more than 10 pages) capability statement clearly describing the Offeror's equipment/facilities, quality assurance practices, any additional process capabilities, and how they will be used to satisfy the delivery of the assemblies as described in the SOW.

Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings Rating Description Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation 2) Price will NOT receive a rating. The quoted price will be evaluated for reasonableness. The total evaluated price is the total price proposed for this order.

All pricing shall be submitted on an Excel spreadsheet (with formulae intact) and submitted with a total price calculated. Price Inconsistencies: A quote is presumed to represent an offeror's best effort to respond to the solicitation. Any inconsistency, whether real or apparent, between promised performance and price, shall be explained in the quote. Any significant inconsistencies, if unexplained, raise a fundamental issue of the offeror's understanding of the nature and scope or the work required and their financial ability to perform the contract, and may be grounds for rejection of the quote Please complete provision 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications- Commercial Items; OR indicate that your company's representation's and certifications are current and available via Sam.gov.
