What the order asks for is what the supplier is held to. These are the clauses we quote against and flow down back-to-back, so the item arrives marked, packaged and documented the way the receiving activity expects.
Clauses we quote to and flow down to suppliers when the order cites them. The order's own clause list governs; this is what we are set up to handle. Standards are applied at the revision cited on the order.

So the quote supports your price-reasonableness determination without us publishing a price list:
Origin is established per line from the manufacturer, not inferred from a brand name or a distributor's verbal answer. Every quote states the end-item manufacturer and the country of origin for each line, so the Trade Agreements or Buy American evaluation can be made before award.
Attach the solicitation and we will quote to the clauses it carries.
