The government intends to award a purchase order as a result of this

The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the
responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most
advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The
following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:
Lowest Price Technically Acceptable - Offers will be ranked lowest to
highest according to price. A price analysis will be conducted to determine
whether the lowest price will result from a single award or multiple awards.
Based on the price analysis, the lowest price offer or multiple offers, will be
forwarded to the requiring activity for technical evaluation (offer(s), in
accordance with the specifications, will be deemed either technically
acceptable or technically unacceptable). If the lowest price offer or offers is
found technically acceptable and the pricing determined fair and
reasonable by the Contracting Officer, evaluation will be deemed complete
and award will be made based on the lowest price offer(s). If the lowest
price offer is determined technically unacceptable, another analysis will be
conducted amongst the remaining offers to determine if a single or
multiple awards will provide the lowest price. The lowest price offer(s) will
be sent for technical evaluation. This process is repeated in order of price
until an offer or combination of offers is deemed technically acceptable
and price is determined fair and reasonable.
