1. INFORMATION FOR EVALUATION

This section supplements clauses 51.212-1 and 52.212-2, which are included elsewhere in this request for quote. The Government will award a contract resulting from this request for quote to the responsible offeror whose quote, conforming to the request for quote, will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract without discussions with Offerors. Therefore, the offeror’s initial quote should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all quotes if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest priced quotes; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in quotes received.

In case of discrepancy between a unit price and an extended price listed in the Item number, the unit price will be presumed to be correct, subject, however, to correction to the same extent and in the same manner as any other mistake.

This solicitation shall be evaluated by awarding to the quote that is technically acceptable and the lowest price.

TECHNICAL FACTOR:

**In response to the solicitation/request for quote for this requirement, Offerors shall submit supporting documentation explicitly showing how the salient features/statement of work and contract terms and conditions will be met. Supporting documentation can be documents such as brochures, pamphlets, screenshots, etc of the proposed item that specifically lists the salient features, and can be compared to the salient features/statement of work in the solicitation.

Evaluation –For Offers evaluated in order of price (beginning with the lowest priced offer, and working up in order of price (lowest to highest), as required, if the low is found not to be technically acceptable): not all offers will be technically evaluated unless required, as deemed by the Contracting Officer; each item in the below Technical Criteria Table will receive one of the adjectival ratings defined below. Any criterion that receives “U” rating will result in an overall unacceptable rating for the factor and the offer(s) is/are not eligible for award.

Price shall be evaluated at estimated quantities multiplied times their respective unit price, not to exceed two (2) decimal points.
