PROCUREMENT APPROACH: The Contractor's quote shall reflect the characteristics and level of quality that will satisfy the Government's need as described in the Schedule of Supplies/Services and the Item Description. A single firm-fixed price (FFP) award will be issued and it is the Government's intent to award on an "all-or-none" basis to satisfy this requirement. The Government reserves the right to issue no award at all resulting from this solicitation.

This is a notice that this order is a total set aside for small business concerns. Only quotes submitted by small business concerns will be accepted by the Government. Any quote that is submitted by a contractor that is not a small business will not be considered for award.

PAYMENT TERMS: NET 30. Invoices must be submitted via the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) in accordance with DFARS 252.232-7006 which is included in this solicitation.

This requirement is restricted to authorized resellers/distributors of the quoted supply. Quotes will only be accepted by authorized resellers/distributors.

Please note: Submission of a signed copy of the RFQ alone is not sufficient in demonstrating the quoter's technical compliance/capability. A mere statement that the quoter will meet the Government's requirement or a restatement / copy of the Government's requirements without any
additional information provided by the quoter is not sufficient in demonstrating the quoter's technical compliance/capability.
