This list shall be submitted with the proposal when responding to the solicitation.

L.Basis for Award: The Government will award a single Contract from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation is most advantageous to the Government based on the best overall proposal that is determined to be the most beneficial to the Government, with appropriate consideration given to the three evaluation factors: Technical, Past Performance and Price.
