This is a brand name or equal solicitation. "Or equal" items shall meet all salient characteristics. Offerors must clearly and concisely state how their product meets the salient characteristics.

A Note on Determining Responsibility of Suppliers: All relevant facts and circumstances gathered from sources of information available to the Government (e.g., National Institutes of Health [NIH] Contractor Performance System [CPS] and Past Performance Information Retrieval System [PPIRS]) will be used as part of determining the responsibility of prospective suppliers. If an Offeror has not commented on negative past performance evaluations obtained by the Technical Evaluation Board, the Offeror may be given the opportunity to explain and/or mitigate adverse past performance during verbal or written interactions after receipt of proposals. Offerors who do not have relevant past performance will receive a neutral rating (neither favorable nor unfavorable).
