Tradeoffs will not occur between price and non-price factors. To be technically acceptable the quoter must meet all specification requirements identified in this RFQ. An offeror’s failure to meet a mandatory technical requirement will render its quotation in-eligible for award (See Attachment A-3).

Pricing for all CLINs will be combined to determine the overall evaluated price (See Attachment A-2). The government will review unit pricing to ensure that pricing is balanced. Unbalanced pricing may render the quoter’s offer unacceptable.

The Government intends to award one (1) purchase order from this RFQ. However, the Government reserves the right to award no contract at all, if it is determined it is in the Government's best interest to do so.

In addition to the above, the Contractor’s quote will be evaluated for compliance regarding the submission of all information required by the cover letter identified in RFQ, Attachment A-1, Attachment A-2 and Attachment A-3.
