2) Technical Approach and Schedule (capability to meet the agency need and clear understanding of scope and stated requirements along with an efficient critical path and logical sequencing of Tasks to be performed under contract)

Those quotations deemed acceptable and are in the competitive range will be required to provide a 20-minute or less Oral Presentation via telephone conference call or Microsoft Teams to clarify any weakness (a flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance) found in the written proposal.

A quotation is not an offer and, consequently, cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Therefore, issuance by the Government of an order in response to a supplier¿s quotation does not establish a contract. The order is an offer by the Government to the supplier to buy certain supplies or services upon specified terms and conditions. A contract is established when the supplier accepts the offer.

Section L of the solicitation contains "Instructions, Conditions and Notices to Offerors" for proposal submission specifics.

Quotations or offers conforming to the solicitation will be received electronically via email andre_ward@nps.gov on or before the response due date in SF-18 Block 10 (unless amended by the Contracting Officer).
