The government anticipates awarding a firm-fixed-price contract on an all-or-nothing basis. Quotations must include technical capability and quality specifications; an authorization letter from the original equipment manufacturer if the offeror is not the OEM; a pricing schedule covering a base year plus four option years (annual license, annual support, and equipment costs); and past performance references from the last three years. Delivery is FOB destination following purchase order receipt; standard manufacturer warranty is required. Evaluation is based on technical capability, OEM authorization, price, and past performance. The government reserves the right to award to other than the lowest-priced quoter if in the government's best interest.
