Therefore, the offeror s initial proposal shall contain the offeror s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in the instructions to offerors section of this solicitation.

The Government reserves the right to evaluate only the technical proposal of the lowest price offeror. Other technical proposals may not be evaluated unless the Government determines the lowest priced offeror to be unacceptable. In the event the Government determines the lowest priced offeror to be unacceptable, the technical proposal of the next lowest price offeror will be evaluated. This process will continue until a technical proposal is determined to be acceptable. The lowest offeror deemed acceptable in all non-cost factors shall be the apparent awardee. PRICE EVALUATION: Price proposals will be evaluated and ranked according to price, from lowest to highest. Price will not be evaluated other than to ensure price reasonableness. The Government may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to make a price reasonableness determination. Note: Offers that are not technically acceptable cannot be selected, regardless of price. Offerors submitting price proposals in response to this solicitation do so with the complete and full understanding that the Government reserves the right to publicly announce the total contract award amount. PAST PERFORMANCE: Past performance will be rated in accordance with FAR 15.305 utilizing the Past Performance Questionnaire attached to this solicitation.

The Government s determination of responsibility will be performed in accordance with FAR 9.1 and will include but not limited to the review of all federal excluded or debarred lists from different U.S. departments, and from the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), available at www.ppirs.gov.
