Quoters must submit pricing for the base and all optional items listed in the Task Order Pricing Schedule.The Quoter need not offer a price quote for any task order published in this RFQ to be considered for award of a MATOC; however in order to be considered for a Task Order award, a price quote for that Task Order must be submitted.
