advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The
following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Lowest Price Technically
Acceptable - Offers will be ranked lowest to highest according to price. A
price analysis will be conducted to determine whether the lowest price will
result from a single award or multiple awards. Based on the price analysis,
the lowest price offer or multiple offers, will be forwarded to the requiring
activity for technical evaluation (offer(s), in accordance with the
specifications, will be deemed either technically acceptable or technically
unacceptable). If the lowest price offer or offers is found technically
acceptable and the pricing determined fair and reasonable by the
Contracting Officer, evaluation will be deemed complete and award will be
made based on the lowest price offer(s). If the lowest price offer is
determined technically unacceptable, another analysis will be conducted
amongst the remaining offers to determine if a single or multiple awards
will provide the lowest price. The lowest price offer(s) will be sent for
technical evaluation.
This process is repeated in order of price until an offer or combination of
offers is deemed technically acceptable and price is determined fair and
reasonable. Table A-1. Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings: Rating
