All proposals will be graded Acceptable or Unacceptable by (1) Technical based on an Acceptable or Unacceptable rating; (2) Past Performance based on an Acceptable or Unacceptable rating; and (3) Price, in order of their price rankings, lowest to highest. Evaluations will cease once an (1) Acceptable technical evaluation and (2) Acceptable past performance evaluation is identified, along with (3) lowest priced selected.

Factor 1 – Technical. The government shall conduct a technical evaluation of all offers. The Government will assign an Acceptable or Unacceptable rating to offeror’s quote, in accordance with the rating descriptions below.

Unacceptable - The quote does not demonstrate an understanding of the requirement. A demonstration of how the tasks will be accomplished is not clear.

Factor 2 – Past Performance.

Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal shall contain the offeror’s best terms.
