cost.
Breakfast provided to attendees each day of the conference, from December 8-11,

acceptable in accordance with the requirements listed above. If the lowest-priced
offer is NOT determined to be technically acceptable, the Peace Corps will evaluate
the next lowest-priced offer in the same manner.
