The RFP contains the full text of all applicable Government regulations, and all offerors are subject to the provisions contained in the RFP. In responding to the RFP, you should answer each item and supply all information requested.
Section “L” provides specific directions for the potential vendors in completing the proposal. The offeror should fully read Section “L” and follow the directions set forth.

Proposals will be awarded on the basis of initial offers submitted, and each initial offer should contain your organization’s best terms from a cost and technical standpoint. There will be no additional opportunity to modify your proposal.
Please read the RFP carefully; do not rely on knowledge of previous RFPs, or knowledge or previous Federal procurement procedures. As a reminder, the vendor must have a site within the catchment area, which will be evaluated during an on-site visit. Note: a catchment area may consist of multiple counties/zip codes, in which case the vendor must have a site within at least one of the counties/zip codes identified in that catchment area.
The estimated monthly quantity listed in Section “B” of the RFP is the estimate of the services to be provided during the terms of this agreement. It is only an estimate.
Although the Government may choose to enter into a Blanket Purchase Agreement with multiple vendors, the Government reserves the right to award to a single vendor.
The term for this Blanket Purchase Agreement is twelve (12) months, with a provision that shall allow the Government to unilaterally extend the agreement for an additional two (2) years, at two
(2) twelve (12) month intervals, at the Government’s discretion.
