The government will consider multiple submissions, focusing on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) offers. Award decisions will be based on a vendor's adherence to technical requirements and past performance in similar federal contracts.
Evaluation factors include:
1. **Technical Approach**: Vendors must demonstrate compliance with the Statement of Work (SOW). Quotes will be rated as acceptable or unacceptable based on whether they meet RFQ requirements.
2. **Past Performance**: Offerors should provide three relevant contracts from the past three years that highlight their capability to fulfill the SOW. Ratings will assess the recency and relevance of past projects, with acceptable ratings indicating potential success in fulfilling government requirements.
3. **Price**: Pricing will be evaluated for reasonableness and alignment with SOW demands. The total price will include basic requirements plus options, but the government is not obligated to exercise the options.
