1. The standard of review for the admission or dismissal of offers shall be Lowest Price Technically Acceptable
2. Offers shall first be evaluated against the extent to which they address the technical requirements provided in this solicitation. Offers that respond to all the requirements shall be classified as “technically acceptable” and shall proceed to the price evaluation stage of the acquisition process. Offers that fail to address all the requirements shall be dismissed and barred from further consideration.
3. The technically acceptable offers shall further be filtered using “competitive range analysis” based on market data on costs. Offers that fall outside the competitive range will either be dismissed or subject to further investigation to determine whether they are admissible within the competitive range.
4. The successful bid shall be chosen from amongst the offers in the competitive range. Such a bid will usually hold the best value for the United States government by striking the optimum balance between price and quality. Purchase price is an important determinant of what constitutes best value, but it is not always definitive. In the case of the tanker truck or any other motor vehicle, the total cost of ownership = purchase price + expected maintenance costs based on industry reputation for the vehicle/brand and parts availability in the local market. All these factors shall be taken into consideration in the determination of best value.
