Evaluation employs a two-factor approach: Price (Factor 1) and Technical Acceptability (Factor 2). Best value results from selection of the technically acceptable quote with the lowest evaluated price. The Government will evaluate the three lowest-priced quotes for technical acceptability; if fewer than two meet technical requirements, evaluation continues through progressively higher-priced quotes until two technically acceptable quotes are identified.
