1.2 The offeror’s quote shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for evaluation and substantiation of the validity of stated claims. The Government may consider the offeror’s assertions or merely restating or paraphrasing the Governments requirements without further explanation, clarification, or context to be weaknesses or deficiencies.

Clarifications do not constitute discussions and an Offeror is not permitted to change its quote in response to a request for clarification.

1.4.Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of the company's capability and experience. The basis of the Government’s evaluation is the information offerors present in their quotes.
