Commercial standards should be used to maintain temperatures appropriate for the items. When proposing in response to a solicitation, failure to propose the specified quality requirement per item as identified above may render an offeror�s proposal technically unacceptable.� This will consist of DoD/Troop customers in Puerto Rico. After soliciting, the Agency intends to make one award.� Offerors are required to propose on all items in the Schedule of Items for each Group on which it offers.� Failure to do so may result in a proposal being deemed technically unacceptable and therefore excluded from further consideration for award.� Because the Contracting Officer is not obligated to initiate negotiations, when proposing to the solicitation each offeror shall submit its most competitive proposal for each Group it has chosen to propose on.� Said proposal shall be responsive to all of the Solicitation�s requirements and free from any deficiencies. Proposed contract ordering period is November 20, 2022 to November 22, 2025. If interested, we strongly encourage you to respond using the attached questionnaire.
