It is the intent of the Government to meet the competitive requirements for requirements up to the Simplified Acquisition Threshold by either rotating the business among qualified suppliers or competing requirements among the BPA holders for those requirements over the micro-purchase threshold. For each requirement exceeding the micro-purchase threshold the Government will solicit quotes from the applicable BPA holders and evaluate for award based on past performance and price. The Government reserves the right to conduct a trade-off analysis and award to the higher priced responsible Offeror with a better record of past performance if it is in the best interest of the Government to do so. The Government may award to the responsible Offeror based on a low-price technically acceptable evaluation if it is in the best interest of the Government to do so. Each individual request for quote for a call will outline the method for evaluation of quotes.
