Upon receipt, quotes will be reviewed for completeness and compliance with RFQ instructions. Determination of complete and accurate quotes that are eligible for award will be achieved through a process of evaluating each quote against the Evaluation

Factors described below. Incomplete submissions or submissions exceeding the maximum page limit of 10 pages total for both Part 1 and Part II may NOT receive further consideration.
