(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government. The evaluation will be conducted in accordance with FAR Part 13. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

- First, quotes will be reviewed for compliance with the solicitation instructions in FAR 52.212-1 addendum. Quotes that fail to include all required documentation and information will be rejected and will not be considered for award.

- Next, quotes will be evaluated for technical acceptability based on whether the offered cabinets meet the brand name requirement, or the equal product meets the minimum salient characteristics provided in the Statement of Work. If the “equal” communication system offered do not meet the minimum salient characteristics provided in the Statement of Work, then the quote will be rated as unacceptable and will not be evaluated any further.

- Finally, after evaluation of technical acceptability, the remaining offerors will be evaluated using a comparative analysis considering price .

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
