When proposing in response to a solicitation, failure to propose the specified quality requirement per item as identified above may render an offeror’s proposal technically unacceptable.

Said proposal shall be responsive to all the Solicitation’s requirements and free from any deficiencies.
Proposed contract ordering period is August 29, 2026, to August 26, 2028, for customers listed in Group 1. If interested, we strongly encourage you to respond using the attached questionnaire.
