Following receipt of quotes, the Government will perform a comparative evaluation of the products/services quoted.

The evaluation of Government requirements outlined in this request for quote will determine suitability.

Contractors may submit more than one quote; however, contractors are strongly encouraged to submit their best technical solutions and prices in response to this request for quote.

Once the Government determines there is/are a contractor(s) that can provide a product/service that meet(s) the requirements of this request for quote, the Government reserves the right to communicate with only those contractors quoting the best-suited product/service to address any remaining issues.

(Unless Applicable) The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).
