Award will be made to the lowest responsible qualified respondent based on pricing, conformity to specifications, past performance, financial responsibility, and delivery terms in descending order of relative importance. The Connecticut Department of Administrative Services reserves the right to award by individual item, group of items, or all items, and to reject any and all responses in whole or part.
