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 based on overall assessment of technical capability of the items offered to meet the Government’s need, price, and past performance. The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

The offeror shall include a description of means of accomplishment demonstrating the Offeror has a clear and complete understanding of the solicitation requirements, or any other documentation necessary for the government to make a determination of technical acceptability of the service quoted.

Additionally, the application of pesticide(s) in normally occupied spaces may require the Contractor to perform the application when the area is unoccupied, depending on the pesticide(s) used and the application method(s). These services shall be coordinated with the COR at no additional cost to the Government.

2.9.3 Safety and Health. The Contractor shall observe all safety precautions throughout the performance of this contract. All work shall be in strict accordance with applicable Federal, state, and local safety and health requirements.
