Quotes will receive a preliminary review to determine whether the quote contains sufficient information, as required by the solicitation, to allow the government to perform a meaningful evaluation. If the results of this preliminary review indicate that the quote lacks sufficient information to allow a meaningful evaluation to be conducted, the

Contract Specialist/Contracting Officer may eliminate the quote from further evaluation and consideration for an award.

The government will evaluate quotes in groups of three (3), starting with the lowest priced quotes, proceeding upward, incrementally in price, until an awardee is selected. At that point, the evaluation process stops, and award will be made to the selected Offeror.

Contractor within 60 days.
