Deal-breakers

• Failure to complete the price schedule entirely or indicating additional/variable pricing fees will result in quote rejection.

  “If the Price Schedule is not completed entirely, or the offeror indicates additional/variable pricing fees, the entire quote may be considered unacceptable and the offeror could be ineligible for award.” — p. 47

• Failure to provide the certification for limitations on subcontracting will deem offers ineligible for evaluation and award.

  “The Government will not consider offers for award from offerors that do not provide the certification, and all such responses will be deemed ineligible for evaluation and award.” — p. 45

Key risk

• The primary and most restrictive qualification is that only Ordained Catholic Priests or their direct employers (Catholic churches) are eligible to perform these services.

  “Only Ordained Priests themselves or employers such as church with Ordained Priests shall perform these services.” — p. 2
