(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible vendor whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

(i) Technical acceptability

(ii) Price

(b) Price and technical acceptability will be considered. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award without discussion, but reserves the right to conduct discussions. Therefore, the vendor’s initial quote should contain the vendor’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The lowest priced quote will be evaluated for technical acceptability. If the quote is found technically acceptable, award will be made without further consideration. If it is found technically unacceptable, the Government will evaluate the next lowest quote for technical acceptability until award can be made to the lowest priced technically acceptable vendors. Therefore, the vendor’s initial quote should contain the vendor’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. Quotes that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

Minimum Qualifications: Contractor must be able to provide the services described herein (see Attachments 2).

(d) A written notice of award or acceptance of a quote mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful vendor within the time for acceptance specified in the quote, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the quote’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quote (or part of a quote), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
