SECTION M--EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

M-1 AWARD DETERMINATION

The Government will issue an order as a result of this Request For Quotations (RFQ) to the responsible quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, cost or price and other factors considered, (e.g., past performance, understanding of the requirements, and quality of work; including the administrative cost of the purchase).

The Government may reject any or all quotes, issue orders to other than the lowest quote, and waive minor informalities or irregularities in quotes received. If necessary, the Government may conduct discussions with any or all quoters. Price is approximately equal in importance to the technical evaluation factors. As the difference between technical scoring decreases, price will increase in relative importance. For purposes of efficiency the Government may reduce the total number of contractors being considered for award, based on price alone.

The following evaluations factors are listed in descending order of importance.

Responses to evaluation factors may be submitted on a separate document.
