indeed the capability to execute the subject
Lot together with other Lots that

If the lowest evaluated and responsive bidder for a Lot does not
fulfill the qualification requirements as discussed above, then the

lowest evaluated and responsive bidder for that Lot. If the second
lowest evaluated and responsive bidder is not qualified, the
assessment process continues with the third lowest evaluated and
responsive bidder etc.
