Technical acceptability will be based on the demonstrated ability to meet the technical requirements, including the period of performance requirement. A mere statement that the vendor “will meet the Government’s requirements” is insufficient; the vendor must demonstrate how it will meet the requirement. Lowest Price Technically Acceptable

To ensure technical compliance with the requirements, vendor quotes shall include the following information:

a. Vendor Specifications. The manufacturer’s name and manufacturer’s complete part numbers of items shall be submitted in the quote.

b. Vendor’s quote shall include an active Cage Code and Federal Tax Identification number. Vendors are required to be registered with SAM database and have an active cage code at the time of award.

c. Delivery Information. Clearly state if the quoter can meet the requested delivery or period of performance as stated in each CLIN. If not, then state the best delivery date.

(b) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

(c) Quotes are to be submitted via email to tony.benson@usmc.mil or by fax at 910-450-9381 by the response date notated on the solicitation.
