EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

AWARD DETERMINATION

The Forest Service’s source evaluation will be based on best-value principles. Accordingly, award will be made to the responsible Offeror whose proposal provides the greatest overall value to the Government, price and other factors considered. This best-value determination will be

Allegheny National Forest Exclosure Fence Removal RFQ 12363N24Q4069 accomplished by comparing the value of the differences in the technical factors for competing offers, based on their strengths, weaknesses, and risks, with differences in their price to the Government. In making this comparison, the Government is more concerned with obtaining superior technical capabilities than with making an award at the lowest overall cost to the Government. However, the Government will not make an award at a significantly higher overall price to achieve slightly superior technical capabilities. As technical scores become closer, price will become more important. Technical Factors are significantly more important than price. Only Offerors that demonstrate acceptable submission to the Government of all items in Section L of this solicitation (or amendments thereof) will be considered for award.
