3. Product Samples. The offeror will provide brochures with pictures and technical specifications as required.
4. Multiple Offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions or items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.
5. Late Submissions, Modifications, Revisions, and Withdrawals of Offers.
a. Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Contracting Officer designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 1630 hours, local time, for the designated contracting office on the date that offers or revisions are due.
b. Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the contracting office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition, and

2) there is acceptable evidence to establish it was received at the location designated for the receipt of offers and was under government control prior to the time set for receipt of offers, or

e. If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal processes so that offers cannot be received at the contracting office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of the extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal processes resume.

An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.
6. Contract Award. The Contracting Officer intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror’s initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price, delivery and technical standpoint. However, the Contracting Officer reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Contracting Officer may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest-priced offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.
7. Multiple Awards. The Contracting Officer may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified.

8. Evaluation.
