Step 3: Evaluate lowest price offeror’s conformance to the attached specifications by verifying the quoted product will satisfy Salient characteristics. If conformance is met, move to step four.

If not, evaluate the next lowest priced vendor for conformance. Continue evaluating until conformance is achieved.

Step 4: Evaluate past performance beginning with the lowest priced, fully conformed offeror until a rating of acceptable is received; then move to step five (5). See FAR 13.106-2(b)(3) for more information on evaluating past performance.

Step 5: Make a Best-Value decision based on meeting requirements of the attached Salient Characteristics (Conformance), performance evaluation and a determination the price is fair and reasonable.
