UNACCEPTABLE: Based on the Offeror's performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. STEP 3 - For those quotes found acceptable in both Technical Capability and Past Performance, the Government will perform price analysis pursuant to FAR Part 15.404-1(b), Price Analysis for Commercial Services.
