Provide with your quote, the company names, telephone numbers, and points of contact that will provide the completed questionnaires for your quote.

The Contracting Officer may also consider any additional past performance information that is available to the Government. Vendors are reminded that while the Government may elect to consider data obtained from other sources, the burden of providing thorough and complete past performance information rests with the vendor. 3.

Price could become the determinative selection factor if the quality of quotes is determined to be essentially equal, or if a quote deemed superior in technical quality is det ermined not to be worth the high price premium.
