The award will be based on best value to the State of Texas, considering compliance with technical specifications, ability to meet delivery timelines, and price, though the lowest bid is not guaranteed selection.

Failure to comply with any representation, certification, or contractual terms may result in termination, civil or criminal liability, or disqualification.
