In the case where technical capabilities are similar, price may be the deciding factor. Upon receipt, quotes will be reviewed for completeness and compliance with RFQ instructions. Determination of complete and accurate quotes that are eligible for award will be achieved through a process of evaluating each quote against the Evaluation Factors described below. Incomplete submissions or submissions exceeding the maximum page limit may NOT receive further consideration. Technical ratings focus on strengths, uncertainties, and deficiencies in the quote and must be rated at the Factor level with an overall technical factor rating assigned. Price Factor must be rated as reasonable or not reasonable. Evaluation Factors
