Which is deemed eligible; 2. Which is deemed responsible; 3. Whose proposal conforms to the solicitation?s requirements; and 4. Whose proposal is determined to provide the best value to the Government. The proposal offering the best value is the one that is most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. Such an offer may not necessarily be the one offering the lowest price or receiving the highest non-price rating. For this solicitation, all evaluation factors other than price, when combined, are significantly more important than price. Award will not be automatically determined by numerical calculation or formula relationship between the non-price factors and price. As non-price factors, when combined, become more equal, the evaluated price rises in importance and may become the determining factor. The Contracting Officer will determine what trade-off between the non-price factors and price promises the best value to the Government, price and other factors considered. The Government intends to make award without discussions on the basis of initial proposals received. However, the Government may elect to make award with discussions if it is determined to be in the Government?s best interest. If the Government elects to make award with discussions, it reserves the right, before requesting a final proposal revision, to: 1. Limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals; 2. Make more than one competitive range determination; 3. Conduct more than one round of discussions; and 4. Conduct more than one round of proposal revisions. Factor 1: Management Approach.
