Must-have specifications are provided in this solicitation. All quote specifications must be verifiable. The government intends to make award without discussions, but reserves the right to hold discussions if required. DESCRIPTIVE LITERATURE: Offerors shall submit 1 copies of the descriptive literature (with pictures) describing their proposed product with enough detail to ascertain and verify that the product meets the minimum must-have specifications listed on the attached document. DOCUMENTS TO BE INCLUDED IN QUOTE: In order to be considered for award offerors shall provide 1) a Quote on company or formal letterhead detailing the item description, unit price per item and the total price, 2) company DUNS number for verification of current ACTIVE status in the System for Award Management purposes, 3) any documentation necessary for verification that product satisfies the minimum must-have specifications attached.
