whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price<br />
and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:<br />
Lowest Price Technically Acceptable - Offers will be ranked lowest to highest according to<br />
price. A price analysis will be conducted to determine whether the lowest price will result from a<br />
single award or multiple awards. Based on the price analysis, the lowest price off er or multiple<br />
offers, will be forwarded to the requiring activity for technical evaluation (offer(s), in accordance<br />
with the specifications, will be deemed either technically acceptable or technically<br />
unacceptable). If the lowest price off er or offers is found technically acceptable and the pricing<br />
determined fair and reasonable by the Contracting Officer, evaluation will be deemed complete<br />
and award will be made based on the lowest price offer(s). If the lowest price offer is determined<br />
technically unacceptable, another analysis will be conducted amongst the remaining offers to<br />
determine if a single or multiple awards will provide the lowest price. The lowest price offer(s)<br />
will be sent for technical evaluation. This process is repeated in order of price until an offe r or<br />
combination of offers is deemed technically acceptable and price is determined fair and<br />
reasonable.<br />
Options. When applicable, the Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding<br />
the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may<br />
determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced.<br />
