A review of past performance will be conducted on this requirement. The quality and
delivery classifications identified for a supplier in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System‐‐Statistical Reporting (PPIRS‐SR) application (http://www.ppirs.gov/) will be used by the contracting officer to evaluate a supplier's past performance.

It is incumbent upon the offeror to submit sufficient documentation and information for the Government to determine technical acceptability, and satisfactory past performance. Failure to submit sufficient information for the government to determine technical acceptability, and past performance may be cause for rejection of your quote.
3. Price - Quotes will be evaluated by comparing offered prices to one another.
