The Proposals must conform to the solicitation requirements and judged to represent the Best Value to the Government.

The source selection process will utilize FAR 15 to evaluate Proposal and award the contract.

All evaluation factors other than price, when combined, are significantly more important than cost or price. As differences in factor ratings and relative advantages and disadvantages become less distinct, difference in price may become the discriminating factor in determining the most advantageous offer. Conversely, as differences in price become less distinct, differences in ratings and relative advantages and disadvantages between offers are determinative.

Intent for No Discussions: Offerors are hereby advised that the Government intends to evaluate Proposal and award a contract without conducting discussions with offerors. However, the Government reserves the right to contact Offerors and/or hold discussions if the Contracting Officer determines them to be necessary. Offerors are cautioned that discussions may not be conducted, and Offerors should not assume that they will have an opportunity to revise their Proposal after submission.
