All questions will be consolidated and responses will be provided to all prospective Offerors through an RFP amendment. The Government reserves the right to consolidate responses to similar questions from multiple Offerors.

All communication prior to award must be directed to the CS/CO. No other channel of communication between the Offeror and an officer, employee, or agent of the Treasury regarding this RFP is permitted, and no information gained from any such communication may be considered in any way binding or limiting to the CO. Therefore, Offerors are cautioned against contacting other Government personnel in regard to this RFP prior to award of this procurement. If such contact occurs and is found to be prejudicial to competing offerors, the offeror making such contact may be excluded from award consideration.

2. EXCHANGES WITH OFFERORS AFTER RECEIPT OF PROPOSALS

The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with Offerors. Therefore, the Offeror’s initial proposal shall contain the Offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government may issue clarifications to clarify certain aspects of Offerors proposals or to resolve minor or clerical errors.

Additionally, the Government reserves the right to request oral presentations or conduct discussions if later determined by the CO to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received. This statement is not to be construed to mean that the Government is obligated to conduct oral presentations or open discussions with every Offeror. An Offeror may be eliminated from consideration without further discussion if its technical and/or price proposals are not among those Offerors considered most advantageous to the Government based on the best value determination.

If required, proposal modifications, or revisions must be submitted in accordance with the solicitation and any amendments.
