RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF THE SOURCE SELECTION FACTORS

(a) The source selection Factors are listed in descending order of importance. Factor 1 is slightly more important than Factor 2. Factor 2 is slightly more important than Factor 3. Within Factor 3, Sub-factor (a) is slightly more important than Sub-factor (b). Factor 3 is slightly more important than Factor 4. Factor 5 is not weighted. Non-cost Factors 1-4 and their Sub-factors when combined are significantly more important than total evaluated cost.

(b) Best Value Award Consideration: The Government intends to award a Task Order to the responsible Offeror whose proposal represents the best value to the Government after evaluation in accordance with the factors in the solicitation. The best value proposal will be selected using a tradeoff process, as defined in FAR 15.101-1, which permits tradeoffs among cost and non-cost factors. Accordingly, the Government may accept other than the lowest priced proposal where the perceived benefits of the higher priced proposal merit the additional price. Conversely, the Government may select a lower-priced, lower-rated proposal if the Government determines that the premium associated with the higher rated proposal is not justified. The importance of price as an evaluation factor will increase with the degree of equality in overall technical merit of competing proposals.
