If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

Best Value The Government anticipates awarding a single contract from this solicitation to the responsible offerors whose proposals, conforming to the solicitation, represent the best value to the Government, price and non-price factors considered.

The Government will execute the evaluation using the Best Value Tradeoff process, using FAR 15- Contracting by Negotiations, adhering to the criteria set forth in the Department of Defense Source Selection Procedures, dated 20 August 2022.

The following factors will be used to evaluate offers:
