Evaluation Factors (in order of importance): 1.Technical. Offerors must provide detailed product literature, which demonstrates the offerings of the quoted item. The product literature must demonstrate in what ways the quoted item meets the specification outlined above under Specifications. Information on training (related to the use of the quoted product) and other relevant information must be included in the quote submission.
