This approach does not require the Government to make the award to either the offer submitting the highest rated technical proposal or the offeror submitting the lowest price, although the Government's ultimate decision may make the award to either of those offerors. Contract award will be made to the Offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the Acquisition Management System (AMS), whose proposal conforms to the solicitation's requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, and certifications) and is judged, based on the evaluation factors, to represent the best value to the Government.
