Government may exclude a quote from further consideration for any material failure to follow instructions, including the omission of required information, or when the quote is no longer considered to be present a potential best value consideration for award.

Work Statement (PWS) as described in their technical offer.

2.4.2 Evaluation of IDIQ prices and rates will include the use of priced sample task orders using those rates.

2.4.3 The Contracting Officer must be able to determine proposed pricing is complete, and is fair and reasonable in order to make an award.

2.4.4 Assumptions: Firms must indicate, in this section only, if any pricing related assumptions have been made, conditions have been stipulated or exceptions have been taken with this RFQ or the Statement of Work as written. If assumptions are not noted in this Volume and this section of the quote, it will be assumed that the firm’s quote reflects no assumptions for award and the firm agrees to comply with all of the terms and conditions set forth herein.
