A price evaluation will be performed for all offerors, and proposals will be ranked from lowest to highest price based on the Total Proposed Price (TPP) provided by the offeror on the price schedule sheet. Next, each factor will be evaluated and, subsequently, the overall proposal will be prepared, beginning with the lowest-priced proposal. The award will be made to the lowest-priced proposal that meets the acceptability standards for the non-price factors. The Government intends to award a
