This is a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) RFQ. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Price;  Technical capability of the item offered to meet the Government requirement, and Past Performance

Evaluation is on Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis. All offers will be evaluated on their proposed Total Price. The contract will be awarded to the company with lowest price, which also fully meets all specifications. Only the lowest priced proposal will be evaluated for technical acceptability to be based on whether or not the quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of this solicitation and attachment 1 – AC Equip Rental SOW-B180 on a pass/fail basis. Past performance will be assessed on a pass/fail basis based on FAPIIS exclusions, CPARS ratings (if available) and SPRS scores obtained by the government. The next lowest offer will only be evaluated if the aforementioned offer is not found technically acceptable (and so on). Only one award will be made under this solicitation. Award will be conducted under the provisions of RFO Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services. Submit only written offers; oral offers will not be accepted. All firms or individuals responding must be registered with the System for Award Management (SAM).

1. Options (if applicable). 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. The evaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).
2. Notice of award. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer furnished to the successful Offeror 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 an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
