1. Technical: Contractor must provide documentation that demonstrates a complete and realistic plan to meet the objectives outlined in the statement of work, specifically for providing the jump training course for 25 personnel. The offer must meet all technical requirements stated in the solicitation.

2. Price: The price evaluation will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach. The total evaluated price will include the proposed price for the course for 25 personnel. Travel costs will be considered for evaluation purposes and calculated in accordance with the Joint Travel Regulation (JTR), including per diem rates provided in the attached documentation and a mileage rate of $0.725 per mile, with travel distances up to 400 miles per 10 hours factored into the calculation.

   2(a) Travel Costs Calculation:

   Travel costs will be calculated based on the Joint Travel Regulation (JTR). Contractors should calculate the mileage for the travel to the training location using the rate of $0.725 per mile.

   To calculate travel costs, contractors should:

   1. Measure the total distance from Moody AFB to the training location.

   2. Multiply the total miles by $0.725 per mile to get the total mileage reimbursement. 

   3. Add the per diem (meals and lodging) for each day of travel.

   4. The total travel costs will be included in the proposal and evaluated as part of the overall cost.

(b) Offers will first be ranked by total evaluated price, starting from the lowest. The Government will then evaluate the lowest-priced offer for technical acceptability. This process will continue until two technically acceptable offerors are identified or all offers are evaluated.

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time specified for acceptance in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. The Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer) before its expiration, whether or not there are negotiations, unless the offeror provides a written notice of withdrawal before award.
