Offerors should submit technical proposals that are acceptable without additional explanation or information. The Government may make a final determination regarding a proposal’s acceptability solely on the basis of the proposal as submitted. The Government may proceed with the second step without requesting further information from any offeror; however, the Government may request additional information from offerors of proposals that it considers reasonably susceptible of being made acceptable and may discuss proposals with their offerors.Each offeror may submit multiple technical proposals, though a maximum of one proposal per offeror may be chosen by the Government for step two of the two-step sealed bid process. Offerors are cautioned against submitting multiple technical proposals that have large differences in prices between them, since step two will be awarded on a low bid basis.The Government will forward a notice of unacceptability to an offeror when, upon completion of the proposal evaluation, there is a final determination of unacceptability. This will be done in accordance with the dates outlined in Part I below.In the second step of this two-step sealed bid solicitation process, only those offerors whose technical proposals were determined to be acceptable, either initially, or as a result of discussions, will be considered for award and allowed to place priced bids. Bids in the second step will be evaluated based on price.
