Products manufactured in China are acceptable if properly identified as to country of origin and will be evaluated accordingly with the 50 percent evaluation factor applied. All additional specifications beyond those listed in Attachment 2 will be treated as mandatory salient characteristics, and offerors are responsible for monitoring the website for any amendments to the solicitation.
