This is a competitive acquisition in accordance with FAR part 12 and part 13. The Government will submit an offer in the form of a purchase order to the quoter that represents the best value to the Government. All quotes submitted will be reviewed for completeness. Quotes that are incomplete or missing information may be considered non-responsive and excluded from the evaluation. Quotes will be evaluated as described below. (1) Price Evaluation.

Next, all extended amounts will be added together to get to the total price proposed. All pricing shall be rounded to the nearest dollar. The total proposed price will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness IAW FAR 13.106-3(a). If there is a conflict between the quoted unit prices and extended amounts, the unit price shall be used to determine the total evaluated price. Any discounts identified in the quote will be included in the evaluation of the total evaluated price. The lowest price quote may not necessarily be selected.

If the quote is rated �Acceptable�, the quote will next be evaluated for Past Performance. (3) Past Performance Evaluation. Past performance information will be based on the information gathered using the CAGE code submitted by the Offeror, utilizing the System for Awards Management (SAM) pulled from BETA.SAM.GOV, and in accordance with DFARS 252.213-7000, Notice to Prospective Suppliers on Use of Supplier Performance Risk System in Past Performance Evaluations (Mar 2018).

The Government reserves the right to use any Past Performance history source for verification. b.

Award shall be made to that Quoter without further consideration of any other quotes. If the lowest priced Quoter is not judged to have an �Acceptable� Technical and Past Performance ratings, the next lowest priced Quoter will be evaluated utilizing the methodology above, and the process will continue (in order by price) until a Quoter is judged to have an �Acceptable� Technical and Past Performance assessment rating or until all Quoter are evaluated. c.
