Award may be made without discussions with offerors (except communications conducted for the purpose of minor clarification). Therefore, each initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a technical and price standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if it is later determined by the contracting officer to be necessary.

The government will initially list proposals from lowest to highest price. If an offer is rated Technically Unacceptable, the government will not evaluate any other factor. USING THIS PROCEDURE, THE GOVERNMENT MAY NOT EVALUATE ALL

OFFERS. Offers receiving a rating of “unacceptable” will not be eligible for award. To be eligible for award the offeror must receive an acceptable rating.
