Award will be made on a firm fixed-price basis to the quoter representing the best value, evaluated on the relevancy of experience aligned with project scope and complexity, confidence in the quoter's ability to perform, and quality of past performance considering timeliness, technical quality, cost control, business relations, and customer satisfaction.
