Awards may be made on a whole-bid or individual item basis, whichever provides the greatest value to the Commonwealth. The Department and selected bidder(s) may negotiate modifications to any contract performance or cost elements identified in the original RFQ or bidder's quote if such changes result in lower costs or improved cost-effectiveness and value. No late bids will be accepted under this procurement.
