The lowest priced offer will be evaluated for technical acceptability and best value tothe Government. If found technically acceptable and found to be the best value an award will be made without further consideration. If found technically unacceptable the government will evaluate the next lowest offer for technical acceptability until award can be made to the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror. Past Performance will not be evaluated. Therefore, the offeror’s initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or rejectthe terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.
