The Government will evaluate quotes and make a Technically Acceptable determination based on the sub-factors provided herein. For the purpose of this solicitation, Technically Acceptable shall mean that the quote clearly meets all provided requirements specified, and Technically Unacceptable shall mean that the quote clearly does not meet all requirements specified below. The sub-factors are: a) Factor I. Product Evaluation of the Technical factor will apply to the criteria listed below and all areas will have to meet or exceed the requirements of the PWS in order to be considered Technically Acceptable. All factors and sub-factors will be evaluated on a "Pass/Fail" basis. In order to be considered Technically Acceptable, the proposal must meet all criteria below: 1) Ammunition is new, unissued, and non-refurbished; 2) Ammunition is in New/Like-New condition; 3) The delivery date is no later than 30 calendar days ARO. b) Factor II.
