Government intends to award a firm, fixed-price contract. A best value concept will be applied for evaluation of
offers for this procurement. The best value approach provides the opportunity to select an offeror who is not
necessarily the lowest-priced or the highest technically-ranked. The Forest Service will select the proposal that
represents the best value based on the evaluation of technical factors and price. Technical factors consist of past
performance and Contractor Capability. Technical factors when combined are approximately of equal importance
when compared to cost or price. Therefore, the offeror's proposal should contain the offeror's best terms.
