In the event an offeror’s quote is determined to be technically unacceptable for any of these factors, the entire quote will be considered technically unacceptable and the quote will be ineligible for award.

Please read each section below carefully for the submittals and information required as part of the evaluation. Failure to provide the requested information below shall result in the Contractor’s quote technically unacceptable. In addition, the government intends to award without discussions.
