A contract may be awarded to the offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation’s requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required in the Performance Work Statement of this solicitation) and is judged by an overall assessment of the evaluation factors to represent the most advantageous to the Government. As part of

Document Number: 36C78626Q50125 Page 6 of 8 making the assessment, a comparative analysis will be performed to determine whether exceeding the minimum requirements at an associated price provides the best value to the Government.

AWARD FOR ALL OF THE WORK: The Government intends to award a single award contract as a result of this solicitation. Offers received for less than the stated number of items listed in the schedule may be considered ineligible for award. The Government, however, reserves the right to make an award for any item from any offeror for a quantity less than or equal to the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.
