Each response must meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. The Government is not requesting or accepting alternate quotations. The evaluation will consider the following:

(1) Technical Capability: The quotation will be evaluated to the extent to which it can meet and/or exceed the Government’s requirements as outlined in the solicitation and based on the information requested in the instructions to quoters section of the solicitation. A technical capability statement must be provided. The statement shall provide support that the contractor possesses adequate resources, capability, experience, responsibility, and integrity to meet the requirements of the resulting contract.
