The evaluation team will review the descriptive literature to determine if quoted products meet the salient characteristics identified in this solicitation. The technical information will be evaluated on a pass/fail basis. Price Evaluation. The total evaluated price will be determined by adding together the extended amounts quoted for each line item. The extended amounts will be confirmed by multiplying each line item quantity by the quoted unit price.

Any discounts identified in the quote will be included in the evaluation of the total evaluated price. No advantage will accrue to a vendor who submits a quote for an unreasonably low price.
