submitted by vendors holding NAICS Code 311111 will be accepted by the Government.
2. Basis for Award. 502 CONS/PKBA will issue a purchase order to the vendor who is determined to offer the
best value to the Government. Failure to acknowledge Amendments may result in your quote not being considered
for award. Contract type shall be Firm Fixed Price (FFP). To be eligible for award, the offeror must follow
instructions in accordance with RFO 52.212-1. These are usually attached to the solicitation for offerors to complete;
however, in accordance with D-RFO 212.205-71, the contracting officer will consider required data if available
