The Government will issue a Firm-Fixed-Price Purchase Order resulting from this RFQ to the responsible Offeror using the Best Value Tradeoff source selection process.

The government anticipates selecting the best-suited quoter from initial responses, without engaging in exchanges with quoters. Quoters are strongly encouraged to submit their best technical solutions and price in response to this RFQ.

Once the government determines the quoter that is the best‐suited (i.e., the apparent successful quoter), the government reserves the right to communicate with only that quoter to address any remaining issues, if necessary, and finalize a task order with that quoter. These issues may include technical and price. If the parties cannot successfully address any remaining issues, as determined pertinent at the sole discretion of the government, the government reserves the right to communicate with the next best‐suited quoter based on the original analysis and address any remaining issues.

Quoters shall provide sufficient information for the Government to determine its level of confidence in the ability of the quoter to perform the requirements of the RFQ.
