Quoter's are required to meet all material solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and

Page5 of8 certifications, deliverables, Performance Work Statement (PWS), etc. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in the Quoter being ineligible for award. Quoter's must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and must provide complete supporting rationale. The Government reserves the right to determine any such exceptions unacceptable, and the quote, therefore, ineligible for award.

For a quote to be eligible for award, the quoter must have a current registration in the System for Award Management (SAM):

https://www.sam.gov/SAM, prior to submitting a quote, IA W FAR 4.1102. SAM will be checked to verify the quoter's status before any evaluation is conducted.

Quoter's are advised that their quotation may exceed the requirements of the PWS, but the Government is not requesting or accepting alternate quotes, and each response must respond to the solicitation requirement stated in the RFQ. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract based on the initial quotes received. Therefore, the contractor's initial quote should contain the contractor's best terms from a pricing standpoint. The Government reserves the right to request revised quotes from, or discuss final terms with, one or more contractors if later determined by the contracting officer to be necessary.

Additionally, the contracting officer will not establish a competitive range, conduct discussions, or otherwise use the procedures described at FAR 15.306.

Two copies of the quote are required: (1) original quote and (2) redacted and sanitized copy of the quote removing all company or personally identifiable information (e.g., company name, logo, individual names, etc.) . Failure to submit redacted copy may result in disqualification.

Total Evaluated Price:

Only the total evaluated price (TEP) submitted in the quote will be evaluated in Attachment 3 - Quote sheet. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement.

Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s ). In accordance with FAR 52.217-8, the Government may require continued performance of services within the limits and rates specified in the contract. The rates shall be determined to be the unit price of each applicable CLIN, as stated in Schedule of the award of the CLIN, which corresponds with the most recently entered period of performance. Evaluation of proposed CLIN prices constitutes evaluation of the rates used for options exercised under this clause

Factor 2 - TECHNICAL

Sub-factor 1: Quality Control Plan
