Award will be made without tradeoffs. Evaluation will be based on the following pass/fail criteria: 1. Technical Approach.

Evaluation will start with the lowest priced quote and move upwards until a quote receives a "pass" rating for all factors 1, 2 and 3. (b) Options. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (c) Notice of Award. A written notice of award or acceptance of a quote, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful quoter within the time for acceptance specified in the quote, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.
