Evaluation is governed by mandatory pass/fail gates including conformance to specifications, delivery capability, stock availability, price completeness, and set-aside compliance, with award based on best value under FAR 13.106-2(b)(3), allowing selection of a non-lowest-priced offer that provides greater benefit to the government.
