Therefore, the offeror ™s initial offer should contain the offeror ™s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received. Please contact the following for any concerns regarding the solicitation and/or award of this requirement: DAVID W.
