The following general rules shall apply when preparing scopes of work and specifications:

c) Whenever possible, the expected quality of services to be provided or the performance characteristics of the item shall be specified.
d) The requestor shall identify all optional items, and the solicitation documents shall set forth the expected needs and the manner in which the related bid prices will be considered.
e) Brand name specifications must be accompanied by an explanation that clearly indicates that the specification is not intended to be restrictive.
f) The salient characteristics represented by the brand names shall be identified to allow for evaluation of possible “or equal” material.
