Prepare a clear, complete quote

Read the full attachment before pricing. Confirm the required service details, location, service date, submission instructions and evaluation criteria rather than relying on the short summary.

Show quoted prices as monthly recurring charges and/or non-recurring charges, as applicable. Make sure each CLIN includes the item description, quantity and unit of measure indicated in the solicitation materials.

Check that your response addresses every technical requirement and is internally consistent. Since DISA will use a lowest price technically acceptable process, avoid omissions that could make it difficult to determine whether your offer meets the stated requirements.
