The following factor(s) shall be used to evaluate offers, in order of importance: The LPTA Evaluation Factors are: FACTOR 1: Technical Proposal FACTOR 2: Past Performance FACTOR 3: Price FACTOR 1 TECHNICAL PROPOSAL The Government shall evaluate the technical proposals on an acceptable/unacceptable basis. Ratings are as follows: Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Subfactor 1: Graduate Degree or Higher Description: This subfactor evaluates that the contractor has a master s degree or higher in teaching, education, instructional design, or related field.

FACTOR 2 PAST PERFORMANCE Offerors will be evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis. The Government will review the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) and Federal Awardee performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS). NOTE: In the case of an offeror without a record of past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available and a rating cannot be assigned, the offeror may not be rated acceptable or unacceptable. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptable/unacceptable, Unknown shall be considered Acceptable. FACTOR 3 PRICE PROPOSAL The offeror s price proposal will be evaluated as follows: An offeror s proposed prices will be evaluated by multiplying the line item quantities by the proposed unit prices for each contract line item number to confirm the extended amount for each. Unit prices will prevail. The price evaluation will document the completeness and reasonableness of the proposed total price for the offers evaluated. Offerors are specifically advised that under this evaluation method, the Government may determine an offer unacceptable if the prices proposed are materially unbalanced between line items. Prices are materially unbalanced if they are significantly overstated or understated in relation to the actual cost of that work. Options. 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). Thus, the offeror s Total Evaluated Price (TEP) for the purpose of evaluation will include the base period and all option periods. Offerors are required only to price the base and option CLINs. AWARD PROCESS The Government intends to award to the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror with an acceptable past performance rating.
