Offerors are informed that a selection and award may be made without discussions. 

If discussions are deemed necessary by the Contracting Officer, upon completion of any discussions, the CO shall issue to all offerors still within the competitive range, a request for revised proposals.  When these offers are received, a final technical evaluation will be performed to see if the revisions affect the technical merits of the proposals.  The final evaluation will be governed by the same rules and considerations as those applied to the evaluation of the initial technical proposals.  Once the final offers have been evaluated and all relevant information available, a summary conclusion will be developed that will include a narrative justification indicating sound rationale for the rating and judgment applied.  If price/technical trade-offs are recommended, a written explanation for each trade-off will be provided to explain the rationale for the recommendation. 

Unsuccessful offerors will be notified in writing and any requests for debriefings will take place upon written request.  All evaluation factors relative to the contract award and their importance will be clearly stated within the solicitation.  Greater emphasis is being placed on other than price-related factors because of the importance of successful and timely completion of all individual task orders.  Contracts will be awarded to the responsible offerors whose proposals are most advantageous to the Government.  The proposals providing the best value to the Government when considering both price and technical factors shall be accepted.  For this procurement, technical evaluation factors (evaluation factors other than price) will be considered to be significantly more important to price.
