Offeror whose offer, conforming to the solicitation, provides the greatest overall benefit to the Government, all factors considered.

Offerors are advised that proposals meeting the solicitation requirements with the lowest cost/price may not be selected for an award if award to a higher priced

Offeror is determined to be more beneficial to the

Government. However, the perceived benefits of the higher priced proposal must merit the additional price.

A combined Technical/Risk Rating will be assigned

The combined Technical/Risk Rating assignments reflect the

Government’s assessment of the Offeror’s technical solution to meeting the Government’s requirement and potential for disruption of schedule, degradation of performance, the need to increase Government oversight, or the likelihood of unsuccessful contract performance

• Additionally, a proposal that provides the Government with a capability, service, or resource that is not specifically required, but benefits the Government, can have merit if it appreciably enhances performance and/or operations to benefit the

Government.
