EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS AND BASIS FOR AWARD. A single “C” contract will be made to the responsible Offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements and presents the best value to the Government, with appropriate consideration given to trade-offs between the three evaluation factors: Technical Capability/Risk, Past Performance and Cost. As stated in FAR Provision 52.215-1, Instructions to Offerors-Competitive, it is the Government’s intention to award without discussions. Offerors are encouraged to present their best technical proposal and costs in their initial proposal submissions. Should the contracting officer determine discussions are necessary; the Government reserves the right to hold them. If this occurs, a competitive range will be determined and Offerors notified of inclusion/exclusion. The competitive range may be limited for purposes of efficiency. Debriefing will be conducted by the Contracting Officer in accordance with FAR 15.503, 15.505, and 15.506 when timely requested by the Offeror in writing to the Contracting Officer.
