However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined necessary by the Contracting Officer.

2.2 Award Decision: The award decision will be made as follows:

(1) Step One – Determine Technical Acceptability. The technical evaluation Factor 1, will assess the Quoters capability to satisfy the Government’s requirement.
