The Government may reject any or all quotes if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in quotes received. (h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of a quote, unless the quoter qualifies the quote by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, quotes may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity quoted, at the unit prices quoted, unless the quoter specifies otherwise in the quote. Quote Evaluation Criteria The Government will award contracts resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The Award will be made based on price and past performance. Price will be evaluated inclusive of all CLINs and must be considered fair and reasonable. Past performance will be evaluated on an acceptable/ non-acceptable basis using information from the Supplier Performance Risk System. A risk score of Red (lowest 5%) or Yellow (Next 10%) will be considered unacceptable. If no information is found, that will be treated as neutral which is considered acceptable.
