Quotes MUST be valid for 30 days after Request for Quote/solicitations closing date.

Questions concerning this solicitation must be submitted at least 5 days prior to the established closing date to reasonably expect a response from the Government. Those questions not received within the proscribed date may not be considered.

Contact MarketplaceSupport@unisonglobal.com or call 1-877-933-3243 to address any questions for quotes utilizing Unison Marketplace.

Quotes must be submitted per unit price. Multiple awards will not be made; therefore, quotes that cover less than all the items and quantities in this solicitation will be rejected and deemed non-responsive.

In order to enhance the efficiency of the procurement process, the Government intends to evaluate only the lowest priced quote to determine if the quote is technically acceptable and whether the vendor has acceptable or neutral past performance. If the lowest priced quote is reasonably priced and technically acceptable and the vendor has acceptable or neutral past performance, the Government intends to make an award to that vendor and no other quote will be evaluated. If the lowest priced offer is not technically acceptable, the vendor does not have acceptable or neutral past performance, or both, then the Government will evaluate the second lowest priced quote for technical acceptability and acceptable or neutral past performance. This method will continue until the lowest priced, technically acceptable quote, by a vendor with acceptable or neutral past performance, is determined. Quotes will be evaluated based on price and technical acceptability. Quoter/Offeror certifies that the product quoted meets or exceeds all minimum requirements as stated in the Request for Quotes.
