2. Request for Proposal Process

This solicitation is a Request for Proposal (RFP). In using this method for solicitation, we

are asking the marketplace for its best effort in seeking a “best value” solution to our

requirement. The offeror provided proposal(s) will be evaluated by an evaluation

committee. Offeror(s) should make their best effort to satisfy the requirements at their

best price because a contract may be awarded based on the initial evaluation. Often,

however, it will be necessary to hold discussions with offeror(s) about their proposal. This
