consequently, the range may be further reduced for purposes of efficiency pursuant to FAR

15.306 (c)(2).

L.12.2. The solicitation requirements include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information stated in Section L of this solicitation. Award shall be made to one (1) offeror deemed responsible with a proposal that conforms to the RFP requirements.
