B-422698.2
- Mission Essential challenged a task order solicitation issued by the Air Force, alleging the lowest price, technically acceptable (“LPTA”) evaluation scheme violated DFARS 215.101-2-70.
- The DFARS provision establishes eight criteria, each of which must be met in order for a solicitation to employ an LPTA methodology.
- It also requires that agencies “avoid, to the maximum extent practicable,” the use of LPTA procedures for procurements of “knowledge-based professional services.”
