In reference to a "streamlined" LPTA process, it appears the Army uses it. The Army's Mission and Installation Contracting Command has a Source Selection Guide Book at: http://www.acc.army.mil/micc/micc-guides.html The Army guide states: "An option the KO may consider when using a LPTA approach is to stipulate in the solicitation that the government reserves the right to evaluate the lowest priced proposal first and if it is acceptable then make award to that offeror. In the event that the lowest price proposal is not acceptable, then the second lowest proposed price proposal is evaluated and if acceptable then award to it, and so on. However the success of this approach is dependant upon the quantity and quality of proposals received. This approach can provide the KO tremendous flexibility in streamlining the evaluation process."
