G. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

1. Simplified Acquisition evaluation procedures pursuant to FAR Part 13, will be applied in the evaluation of quotations received. Only those quotes deemed acceptable will be evaluated. Failure to submit the information called for in this solicitation may render the quote unacceptable.
