Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of those proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors.

The Government reserves the right to award fewer contracts, more contracts, or none at all based on the proposals received. The Government intends to make its decision without discussions, but reserves the right to do so if the Contracting Officer determines it is necessary.

9.2. The Contracting Officer may establish a competitive range and conduct discussions with all the most highly rated proposals, unless the range is further reduced for purposes of efficiency pursuant to FAR 15.306(c)(2).

CPARS is an electronic repository of performance information collected by all the major federal performance reporting systems and can be accessed at the website.All Department of Defense (DoD) employees (military and civilian), including DoD Contractors that are working on site (military/government facilities) or contractors working offsite using Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) are required to use certificates from DoD Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to access CPARS. If the contractor doesn't work on site or with GFE they are encouraged to obtain and use a certificate from an External Certificate Authority (ECA). For DoDusers, the use of PKI Login is Mandatory. Federal and Contractor users can use the PKI login category if they have PKI.

B. External Certificate Authority

1. External Certificate Authorities (ECAs) and Interim External Certificate Authorities (IECAs) provide digital certificates to the DoD's private industry partners, contractors using their own equipment or working in non-government facilities, allied partners, and other agencies.

2. Additional information about the PKI certificate is at https://www.cpars.gov/pki_info.htm web page. You will also need your UEI number and Marketing Partner Identification Number (MPIN) to log onto CPARS. The MPIN number was selected by whoever registered your company in the System for Award Management (SAM) Registry at https://sam.gov. If you do not know your MPIN number, you will need to contact the SAM help desk by emailing them from the email link on the SAM web page. Please be aware that they will only release the MPIN number to the person who originally registered your company.
