(4) Quoters shall submit any terms and conditions, licensing agreements, terms of service, or any other documents that are required for the requirements in the solicitation to be met with the quote.

The quote should contain the following items in addition to other information required by this solicitation.

The Quote should indicate the following:

Solicitation Number

Name and Address of Quoter, and Cage Code

Point of Contact name, telephone number, and email address

Quote valid of 30 days following the solicitation closing date

Any terms and conditions, licensing agreements, terms of service, etc

Country of Origin for all supplies

Lead time

QUESTIONS: Quoters may submit questions regarding clarification of solicitation requirements via email to the Contract Specialist, Ms. Shere' Reese, at shere.c.reese.civ@us.navy.mil. It is requested that all questions be received NO LATER THAN 02:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time (EST), on 18 June 2026 NOTE: Hand-carried quote will not be accepted.

Factor I: Technically acceptable quotes shall meet all the requirements of the solicitation. This factor shall address the technical factors and include all information required for Quote evaluation. This section of the Quote shall exclude any reference to the price aspects of the quote. In accordance with the statement of work the quoter shall provide a sample reception and breakfast menu with their quote. Additionally, the hotel must be in Annapolis Maryland within a 10-minute drive radius of the United States Naval Academy. The hotel shall be able to accommodate full-size busses and have a suitable location in the lobby area to setup registration tables and visitor welcoming center.

Factor II: Price This volume shall include completed solicitation documents and additional supporting documentation described below:

1. Completed price list that provides individual pricing for each CLIN as detailed in the combined synopsis/solicitation.

2. All supplemental information to support the quoted price.

3. Unless competed in SAM, RFP, Representations, Certifications and Other Statements of Offerors completed by the quoter.

A vendor's quoted price will be determined by adding all extended amounts for all CLIN(s) which are comprised of all items listed within the quote.

If, at any stage of the evaluation, all vendors are determined to have submitted equal, or virtually equal, quotes, price will be the factor in determining which vendor shall receive the award.

Price will be evaluated in accordance with FAR Part 12. The Government may evaluate any and all information submitted by the quoter to support the reasonableness of prices quoted. The method of evaluation used by the Contracting Officer is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer.

Additionally, the government may request quoters to submit additional information/data to support price reasonableness such as copies of paid invoices for the same or similar items or uncertified cost and pricing data. Failure to submit the requested information may result in disqualification of the submitted quote.

The Government will award on the basis of price unless the contracting officer is aware of past performance information related to the low-price quote which indicates that quote may not represent best value. In that case, the Government reserves the right to consider the past performance of other quotes, conduct a price, past performance tradeoff, and award to other than the lowest price quote.
