The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: 1. Technical acceptability 2. Past performance 3. Price Technical acceptability and Past performance, when combined, are significantly less important than price. The LPTA evaluation process will be accomplished as follows: (1) Technical Acceptability: Each offeror's technical quotations will be evaluated to determine if the offeror provides a sound, compliant approach that meets the requirements of the Scope of Work Items B and C and demonstrates a thorough knowledge and understanding of those requirements. An evaluation rating of Technically Acceptable / Non-Acceptable will be assigned upon completion of the technical quotations evaluation. If an Offeror receives a technical rating of "Non-Acceptable" they will not be considered for award.

Any proposal which does not demonstrate satisfactory performance on at least three projects (within the past 3 years) similar in scope to the work described in this solicitation will not be considered technically acceptable.

Offerors are advised that the evaluation of options shall not obligate the government to exercise such options. Note: Unrealistically low proposed prices or cost estimates, initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating a quotation from competition either on the basis that the offeror does not understand or the offeror has submitted unrealistic quotations.
