The evaluation process for proposals will follow a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) approach. Offerors must meet specific technical requirements to be considered acceptable. Key evaluation factors include:
- Technical capability
- Past performance
- Price
Technical proposals must demonstrate experience in fabricating FRP structures over 10,000 pounds and include resumes of key personnel involved in the project. Past performance will be assessed based on previous similar projects and can include up to five past performance questionnaires (PPQs). Price will be evaluated but not scored; the award will go to the offeror with the lowest overall price who meets all technical requirements.
