Evaluation Criteria (Basis for Award)

Evaluation will be based on Best Value to the Government, which will be determined by evaluating Price, Technical Acceptability, Delivery Time Frame, and Past Performance.

The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors will be used to evaluate offers:

Technical Acceptability:
The Government will evaluate the quote to determine if the proposed equipment meets or exceeds all the Salient Characteristics outlined in Section 3. To be evaluated, the Offeror must provide sufficient product literature/specifications clearly identifying the make and model being offered, and demonstrating compliance with all hardware, ink, software, and warranty requirements.

Delivery Time Frame:
