The government intends to award a purchase order as a result of this combined
synopsis/solicitation that will include the terms and conditions set forth herein. Award may be
made without discussions or negotiations, therefore prospective contractors should have an
active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) database (www.sam.gov) in
accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 4.1102 and Part 52.204-7 when
submitting a response to this solicitation.
The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror
whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most 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.
Options. When applicable, the Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding
the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may
determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced.
Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

regarding the terms and conditions herein as follows:
"The terms and conditions in the solicitation are acceptable to be included in the award document
