The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: 1. Past Performance 2. Technical Capability 3. Experience and Qualifications 4. Quality Control Plan 5. Use of Biobased Products The evaluation factors are generally more important than price, provided the price is determined to be fair and reasonable by the Contracting Officer. (b) Options. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (c) A written notice of award or acceptance of a quote, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful quoter within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quote (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
