The Government intends to issue a purchase order for the services above to the responsible vendor whose quote conforms to the RFQ and is most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors, which are in descending order of importance shall be used to evaluate quotes: Factor 1-Technical Capability: The SEC will evaluate the degree to which the quoter demonstrates an understanding of and meets the technical requirements of the solicitation. Factor 2-Corporate Experience: The SEC will evaluate the quoter?s corporate experience in performing requirements that are similar in scope and size to the SEC?s requirements. Factor 3-Past Performance: The SEC will review the quoter?s past performance information in evaluating quoter?s ability to conform to contract requirements and adhere to contract schedules, commitment to customer satisfaction, and its demonstration of reasonable and cooperative behavior and business like concern for the interest of its customers (quoters shall provide complete client contact information so that reference checks may be conducted). Factor 4-Price. Award will be made to the responsible quoter whose offer is considered to be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The Government reserves the right to award without discussion. Quoters shall submit one original and three copies of the Technical Quote and two copies of the Business Quote containing the information set forth above. Any data previously submitted in response to another RFQ will be assumed unavailable to the Commission; and this data must not be incorporated in the quotation by reference. The Technical Quote shall fully and adequately address specific requirements. Statements in the form of ?the quoter understands? or ?the quoter shall comply? or ?yes the quoter can provide? and statements that paraphrase the Statement of Work are inadequate. If a vendor submits a Technical Quote in this format, the Technical Quote will be considered as non-responsive and no further action will be taken.

The Technical and Business Quotes shall be separate and complete so the evaluation of one may be accomplished independently of the other.
