Note: Quotes will be evaluated based on a best value, trade-off process. Best Value allows the Government to consider or award to an offer whose Price might not be the lowest offer, but the offeror’s proposal is more advantageous in Technical Capability and/or Past Performance. The Government may consider award to other than the lowest priced offeror or other than the highest technically rated offeror when it is in the best interest of the Government.

(b) Those proposals evaluated as not satisfying all of the price/cost criteria may be eliminated from consideration for award unless the Contracting Officer determines.
