Evaluation of Offerors highlights The Government anticipates establishing a single contract with the contractor whose proposal is determined to best meet the needs of the Government after consideration of all factors-- i.e., provides the “best value.” Accordingly, the Government may award to other than the lowest priced Offeror or other than the highest technically rated Offeror. All non-price factors, when combined, are significantly more important than price. The Government values obtaining superior technical performance capability (represented by the non-price evaluation factors) than with making an award at the lowest overall evaluated price.

Factor 1: Technical Approach Factor 2: Past performance Factor 3: Price http://www.noaa.gov/marine-aviation http://www.noaa.gov/research http://www.noaa.gov/satellites http://www.noaa.gov/fisheries http://www.noaa.gov/oceans-coasts http://www.noaa.gov/weather
