The Government may submit offers to establish a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with vendors that can meet the requirements as identified in the solicitation.

Quotes will be evaluated as described below. Solicitation Requirements. All quotes submitted will be reviewed for completeness to determine if they contain all information requested in the addenda to FAR 52.212-1. Quotes that are incomplete or missing information may be considered non-responsive and excluded from the evaluation.

Reasonableness will be confirmed by adequate price competition or use of the techniques specified in FAR 13.106-3. Quotes that are incomplete or unreasonable may be determined ineligible for award. Any discounts identified in the quote will be included in the evaluation of the price. Technical Evaluation. The Contracting Officer will review the descriptive literature to determine if the quotes meet the salient characteristics identified in this solicitation.
