BASIS FOR AWARD

The Government intends to award one contract to the responsible offeror whose quote is responsive to the solicitation and determined to be the best value and most advantageous to the Government. Each quote will be evaluated for technical acceptability, delivery lead time and price. In our evaluation offers with a shorter lead time may be evaluated more favorably.

The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror’s initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest.
