The Postal Service bases contract award decisions on best value. The Postal Service is more concerned with making an award at the lowest overall price than with obtaining superior technical or management features. However, the Postal Service may not necessarily make an award at the lowest price in order to achieve a small price savings if better value can be achieved with superior technical or management features. The benefits of a higher priced proposal may merit a higher price.

The Modified Management Plan will be evaluated and scored on a scale of 100 points. Solicitation Attachment 12 contains the scoring breakdown.
