The offeror will also provide the number of customers currently served in the area. Technical and past performance, when combined are approximately equal to cost or price. The offeror is encouraged and expected to provide existing product literature, brochures, and/or descriptive literatureavailable to other customers and adequate to permit the Government to determine an offeror's technical acceptability. This literature should describe the sizes of containers available from the offeror, the sizes and types of trucks used, etc. Photographs are encouraged.

After the technical evaluation, the Government will select the offerors that represent best value to the Government, price and past performance considered.
