Equipment meeting the minimum requirements that provides additional features or capabilities offering a meaningful benefit to the Government may be evaluated more favorably.

Interested vendors should review the complete solicitation and attachments for all requirements, salient characteristics, submission instructions, delivery requirements, and applicable provisions and clauses.
