1. The provision at 52.212-2, Evaluation -- Commercial Items does not apply to the solicitation.

The evaluation procedures to be used are as follows:

Award will be made using the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) selection process. Award may be made on initial quotations. Therefore, each initial quote should contain the quoter's best terms from a technical, all submission requirements and price standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to contact quoters if it is

later determined by the contracting officer to be necessary or in the government's best interests. The LPTA process will proceed as follows:

1. 1. Quotes may be removed from consideration for, but not limited to, the following reasons:

•Quotes that are not received timely

• • • Quotes that fail to follow the instructions in FAR Provision 52.212-1
    • Quotes that fail to submit ALL required documentation/provisions
    • Quotes that have language inconsistent with the terms and conditions set forth in the solicitation

1. 1. Quotes will be ordered by price from lowest to highest.

1. 1. The Government will then review Factor 1 of the lowest priced quote. If the review finds that Factor 1 of the lowest priced quote is acceptable, the Government will then evaluate Factor 2 of the lowest priced quote. If the review finds that Factor 2 of the lowest priced quote is acceptable, that quote represents the best value to the Government and the technical evaluation process stops at this point. Contingent upon a subsequent determination of price reasonableness (Factor 3) and of contractor responsibility by the Contracting Officer, an award will be made to that quoter without further consideration of any other quoters.

If the lowest quote is determined not to be acceptable for any reason, then the next lowest priced quote will receive an evaluation as described above. The process will continue in order by price until a quote from a responsible contractor is determined to be acceptable and priced fairly and reasonably.

1. 1. USING THIS PROCEDURE, THE GOVERNMENT MAY NOT EVALUATE ALL QUOTES.

(e) Each Factor will be evaluated as follows:
