Award will be based on the lowest price that will provide the supplies in the required time frame.

b. The Contractor shall provide a quote for each BPA Call request within fourteen (14) calendar days of the initial contact by the Technical Point of Contact (TPOC). The Contractor may receive additional time to provide a quote if it is pre-approved by the Technical Point of Contact.
