Following technical acceptance, the Contracting Officer will determine whether or not to establish a competitive range. Competitive range may be established due to a clear grouping of the most reasonable offers while eliminating outliers at either an extreme high or low price in regard to the established Independent Government Estimate.

There will be no pre-established number of offers selected for inclusion in the competitive range, THIS WILL BE COMPLETELY AT THE DISCRETION OF THE CONTRACTING OFFICER.

This will usually consist of a written statement of the Government’s negotiating position in response to the initial offer. Discussions may take place in written, oral, or electronic format at the discretion of the Contracting Officer. Discussions may continue as long as needed to reach a determination of which price is the lowest of those offered. At the discretion of the Contracting Officer, offerors may be furnished a request for Final Quote Revisions advising them to submit their best and final offer and closing out negotiations for all offerors. The use of FPR’s will be at the discretion of the Contracting Officer and is NOT a mandatory step prior to award.

After the above steps have taken place, the IAW FAR 13.106- COMPARATIVE EVALUATION PROCEDURES will be selected for Award and notice will be tendered to all members of the competitive range.
