This document outlines the evaluation factors for the award of a single P-type contract for Local Telecommunications Services II (LTS II). The government intends to use a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process.

The evaluation will focus on three main factors:

• Price: Evaluated for completeness, reasonableness, unbalanced pricing, and Total Evaluated Price (TEP).
• Relevant Performance History: Offerors must demonstrate experience meeting specific criteria, including prior contracts over $50,000, experience with two distinct physical sites, providing and installing equipment for T1/PRI presentation, and offering specific services like Direct Inward/Outward Dialing, Caller-ID, E911, GETS access, and international dialing.
• Technical: Evaluated on a pass/fail basis across four subfactors:
  • Installation, Cutover, and Demarcation
  • Managed IP Voice Services and Features
  • Service Levels, Maintenance, and Reporting
  • Contract Management and Security

• One P-type contract is intended for award.

• Quotes will be evaluated in ascending order of Total Evaluated Price (TEP) until a technically acceptable quote is found.

• The government reserves the right to award without discussions based on initial quotes.

• Any subfactor evaluated as "Unacceptable" will render the entire quote unacceptable and unawardable.

• Not specified in this document.

• Funds are not presently available for this effort; award is contingent on fund availability.
