This competition will be based on a firm fixed price Best Value award. Negotiations may or may not take place; therefore, it is important that you submit you best technical proposal and price proposal in your initial offer. The government will award a single purchase order to the responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the requirements as stated in the solicitation and is most advantageous to the government based on Best Value. Delivery:  4251 Suitland Road, Suitland, MD 20395 (FOB Destination). The associated North American Industrial Classification Systems (NAICS) code for this procurement is 511210.

The award will be a firm fixed priced order only to an offeror whose technical proposal meets the needs of the Government and is the best value to the Government.

Clarifications are limited exchanges, between the Government and Offerors that may occur when award without discussions is contemplated.

This acknowledgment should consist of a certification stating the Offeror's understanding of the Statement of Work and that the Offeror can provide the required products and services.
