All evaluation factors other than price, when combined, are more important than price. The Contracting Officer shall determine what trade-off between technical merit and price promises to be the best value to the Government with price and other factors to be considered. As non-price factors become more equal, price may become the determining factor. The award will be made to the offeror that offers the greatest value and is most advantageous to the Government. Please include a completed copy of the provision at 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications - Commercial Items (NOV 2020) FAR Clause 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions - Commercial Items (OCT 2018) FAR Clause 52.212-5, Contract Terms and Conditions Required To Implement Statutes Or Executive Orders - Commercial Items (NOV 2020) Offerors shall submit all written questions concerning the solicitation via email to Christina Royle at contact@example.gov.

The Government reserves the right, however, to award a contract based on initial offers without conducting discussions. Therefore, each proposal should be submitted from the offeror's most favorable technical and price standpoints.
