Evaluation

The Government will award to the responsible offeror whose quote offers the best value to the Government, price and non-price factors considered.

The offerors are advised that the quotation meeting the solicitation requirements with the lowest price may not be selected for award if award to a higher priced offeror is determined to be more advantageous to the Government. However, the perceived benefits of the higher priced quotation must merit the additional price.
