Evaluation on a Best Value/Trade-Off basis weighs Technical Qualifications (state certification, experience appraising comparable Southern California desert land tracts and UASFLA-compliant appraisals, years of federal acquisition experience, professional designations, and initial delivery capability) and Past Performance (similar assignments within five years, government agency references, UASFLA compliance history) more heavily than Price.
