If no quotes were submitted by HUBZone small business concerns or 8(a) participants, or if none of the quotes would result in award at a fair and reasonable price that offers best value to the Government, then the Government will review quotes from other small business concerns. If no quotes were submitted by small business concerns, or if none of the quotes would result in award at a fair and reasonable price that offers best value to the Government, then the Government will review quotes from the next tier.

4. If no quotes were submitted by large business (i.e. unrestricted) concerns, or if none of the quotes would result in award at a fair and reasonable price that offers best value to the Government, then the solicitation may be cancelled, and the requirement resolicited.
