Inclusion of any important consideration not covered by this request is encouraged. The Government reserves the right to make a determination whether a quote is acceptable or unacceptable solely on the basis of the information submitted and proceed without requesting additional information.

The following should be addressed in your quote: Factor 1 � Past Performance The provided information should be for relevant past performance within the last three (3) years and clearly demonstrate the contractor�s ability to provide the air quality testing services set out in the Performance Work Statement (PWS).

Order of Importance: Factor 1 � Past Performance is more important than Factor 2 � Price.�However, the importance of price will increase if quotations are rated and considered essentially equal in terms of non-price factors.
