Evaluation:
The Government plans to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the offer conforming to the solicitation which will be most advantageous to the Government and on the basis of a Best Value approach. Quotes will be evaluated using price, technical, delivery, and past performance factors.

Be sure to submit/attach enough additional information to enable the Government to fully ascertain the specifications/capabilities of any products quoted.
The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror’s initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waiver informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.
