SPECIAL NOTES AND INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Basis for Award. The NAFI intends to award a purchase order from this RFQ to the

responsible Offeror whose quote conforming to the RFQ will be the best value to the

NAFI. Failure to acknowledge any Amendments may result in your quote not being

Technically Acceptable (LPTA) quote will be determined to represent the best

value. Technical acceptability will be determined by an evaluation of the quoted

requirements that meet the technical criteria that are contained in the

solicited item description or its equal. Quotes initially will be ranked from lowest to

highest based on total price. The NAFI will then evaluate the three lowest priced

quotes for Technical Acceptability. However, the NAFI reserves the right to evaluate

additional quotes for technical acceptability if deemed to be in the best interest of

the NAFI. If additional quotes are evaluated for technical acceptability, they will be

evaluated in the order of total price. Award will be made to the responsible Offeror

whose quote is the lowest evaluated price among technically acceptable quotes. The

NAFI may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to ensure a fair and

reasonable price. Examples of such techniques include, but are not limited to, the

following: comparison of proposed prices received in response to the RFQ,

comparison of proposed prices to historical prices paid, whether by the Government

or other than the Government, for the same or similar items.

unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
