| Award Criteria | 52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014) (a) Quotations that do not respond to all requirements in the solicitation may be rejected without further evaluation, deliberation, or discussion. The Government may reject any quotation that is evaluated to be significantly not compliant with the solicitation requirements, or reflects a failure to comprehend the complexity and risks of the work to be performed. The Government reserves the right to award without discussions. (b) The Government will make an award resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government and whose quote is the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA). The quote with the lowest evaluated price will be evaluated for technical acceptability and acceptable past performance. Only if that quote is found to be technically unacceptable or to have unacceptable past performance will the evaluation proceed to the quote with the next lowest evaluated price. This process will continue until the lowest priced technically acceptable quote, with acceptable past performance, is found. For this solicitation, the evaluation factors are: 1. TECHNICAL AND MANAGEMENT APPROACH (non-price) The quoter must meet the requirements of the Statement of Work (SOW). 2. PAST PERFORMANCE (non-price) Quoters will be evaluated on their recent (within the past 3 years) performance of relevant requirements as described in the SOW. Quoters should provide three (3) references for the same or similar work performed for Federal, State, and local government and private clients. A quoter may also provide information on problems encountered on the identified projects and the quoter’s corrective actions.

A quoter will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance if the quoter has no record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available. 3. PRICE A comparison of quotation pricing received in response to the solicitation will be made in order to make a determination of fair and reasonable pricing in accordance with the Firm Fixed Price nature of this acquisition action.
