(g) Contract Award. Quotations should contain the quoter’s best technical and price terms. The

Contracting Officer may reject any or all quotations. The Contracting Officer may award to other than the quoter with the lowest priced quotation unless the solicitation states the basis of award is lowest priced technically acceptable.

If the Quoter does not have a unique entity identifier, it should contact the entity designated at www.sam.gov for unique entity identifier establishment directly to obtain one. The Quoter should indicate that it is an offeror for a Government contract when contacting the entity designated at www.sam.gov for establishing the unique entity identifier.
