Text

Example 1.

Offer A $304,000 U.S.-made end product (not domestic)
Offer B $303,000 U.S.-made end product (domestic), small business
Offer C $300,000 Eligible product
Offer D $295,000 Noneligible product (not U.S.-made)

Analysis: Eliminate Offer D because the acquisition is covered by the WTO GPA and there is an offer of a U.S.-made or an eligible product (see 25.502(b)(1)). If the agency gives the same consideration given eligible offers to offers of U.S.-made end products that are not domestic offers, it is unnecessary to determine if U.S.-made end products are domestic (large or small business). No further analysis is necessary. Award on the low remaining offer, Offer C (see 25.502(b)(2)).
