EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD: The evaluation of quotations shall be on GO or NO-GO basis and will occur in two sequential stages: Technical evaluation determines whether quotations are technically acceptable or unacceptable followed by a price evaluation. GO: To be technically acceptable, all of the technical requirements as specified in this solicitation are met by the quoter. The technical capability factors are as follows: (1) Experience with Symantec SSL Certificates: The vendor must provide evidence that they can provide Symantec MPKI Premium EV SSL Certificate and Symantec Code Signing Java certificate.
