Quotes must be prepared in accordance with these instructions. Failure to do so may result in the Quoter’s submission being determined unacceptable and ineligible for award. Each Quoter’s submission shall be screened by the Contracting Officer or designee upon receipt to ensure completeness and compliance with the instructions contained in the Request for Quote (RFQ). Elimination of a Quote is at the sole discretion of the Contracting

Officer.
