This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This is a BRAND NAME OR EQUAL solicitation. TECHNICAL LITERATURE MUST BE SUBMITTED FOR "EQUAL" PRODUCTS OFFERED FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO PERFORM A TECHNICAL EVALUATION. NO FURTHER REQUEST WILL BE MADE TO OBTAIN REQUIRED LITERATURE AND FAILURE TO SUBMIT MAY RESULT IN YOUR OFFER BEING ELIMINATED FROM AWARD CONSIDERATION. AWARD WILL BE MADE RELATIVE TO BEST OVERALL VALUE. BEST VALUE MAY INCLUDE, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO: PAST PERFORMANCE, TECHNICAL CAPABILITY, QUALITY, TRADE-IN CONSIDERATIONS, PROBABLE LIFE, WARRANTY, MAINTAINABILITY AND PRICE. OFFERS MUST MEET ALL MINIMUM SPECIFICATIONS BUT OFFERS WHICH EXCEED MINIMUMS MAY BE RATED MORE FAVORABLY. THE GOVERNMENT WILL NOT, HOWEVER, PAY AN UN-REASONABLE AMOUNT FOR ADDITIONAL TECHNICAL CAPABILITY AND WILL COMPARE ANY ADDITIONAL CAPABILITY TO ANY ADDITIONAL PRICE. SINCE THE GOVERNMENT IS INTERESTED IN OBTAINING THE BEST OVERALL VALUE, AWARD MAY NOT GO TO THE LOWEST OVERALL PRICE IF ANY FACTORS CONSIDERED JUSTIFY A HIGHER PRICE. NOT-WITHSTANDING THAT TECHNICAL CAPABILITY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN PRICE, SHOULD ALL OFFERS APPEAR EQUAL, PRICE WILL BECOME THE DETERMINING FACTOR IN THE AWARD DECISION.
