The Government intends to evaluate proposals and, if necessary conduct discussions with all responsible offerors within the competitive range. The award will be made to the offeror whose proposal conforms to the terms and conditions of the solicitation and award may be made to other than the lowest priced or the highest technically rated offer. Relative importance and trade-offs. The Government will base the determination of best value on performance, and the other evaluation factors identified elsewhere in this solicitation. The determination of best value also considers the relative importance of the evaluation factors. Technical factors are significantly more important than cost or price. It is pointed out, however, that should technical competence between offerors be considered approximately the same, then cost or price could become primary. CBP will base its award decision using a best value analysis that results in the most advantageous acquisition for the government. CBP's acquisition strategy used to obtain best value may result in an award to other than the lowest priced, technically rated offeror. Best value analysis spans a continuum from the lowest priced, technically acceptable proposal to those proposals in which tradeoffs between price, past performance, and each offeror's technical solution is evaluated.
