c) The Technical evaluation will be based upon the offerors submissions described in the “Technical Information” section of 52.212-1 ADDENDUM TO INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2015).

In case where price competition is not evident, and/or only one quote is received, conduct price analysis in accordance with FAR 13.106-3(2) and prescribed DFARS techniques at 215.371-1 through 215.371.3.

f) A written notice of award or acceptance of a quote, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the quote, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.
