Offeror Submission Instructions and Limitations To assure timely and equitable evaluation of quotes, offerors must follow the instructions contained herein. Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors. The offeror shall submit in their quote all requested information specified in this section of the Request for Quote (RFQ) at or before the exact time specified. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being ineligible for award.

Review all required vendor completion sections within the solicitation document and provide all requested documents and information in the instructions to offeror section of the solicitation. (ix) Evaluation and Basis of Award Evaluation Factors for this solicitation are TECHNICAL, PAST PERFORMANCE and PRICE. The Government reserves the right to make award without discussions. Therefore, the Offeror's proposal should contain the Offeror's best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government also reserves the right to enter into discussions, if it is determined to be in the Government's best interest. Although price is an important factor in the award of the contract, non-price factors, when combined, are of approximately equal consideration to the overall contract award decision. Simplified Acquisition evaluation procedures pursuant to FAR Part 13, will be applied in the evaluation of quotations received. Only those quotes deemed responsive will be evaluated. Failure to submit the information called for in this solicitation may render the quote nonresponsive. The Government is equally concerned with obtaining performance capability and quality as it is with the lowest overall price. However, the Government may make award to the higher priced offeror if their performance capability and quality exceeds that of the offeror who submits a lower priced quote. Overall price to the Government may become the ultimate factor for award of a contract as quotations become more equal based on other factors. While the Government will strive for maximum objectivity, the evaluation process is, by its nature, subjective. Therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire process. In any case, the Government reserves the right to make award(s) to that offeror whose quotation provides the best overall value and is most advantageous to the Government.
