EVALUATION CRITERIA

Decisional Rule Criteria Best Value Trade-Off:

The quoter’s quotation will be evaluated in three areas:

Technical, Past Performance, and Price. Technical areas are more important than Past Performance, which in turn is more important than Price. Quoters should recognize that Price, although of lesser importance than Technical and Past

Performance, might contribute substantially to the Source

Selection Authority’s (SSA’s) contract award decision. As the evaluation of competing quotations in the Technical and Past

Performance areas become more equal in rating, the more important Price will be come in selecting the best value for the

Government. Technical and Past Performance areas will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b)(3), Evaluation of

Quotations or Offers.
