Adequate competition is defined as the receipt of at least two (2) competitive proposals in a tier from companies that are qualified, technically acceptable, cost reasonable and responsible business concerns. The cascading evaluation is to be applied in the following manner: First Tier Competition - is defined by competition among qualified HUBZone small business concerns. In the event that adequate competition and fair market price requirements cannot be met under the First Tier Competition, and there is only one technically qualified firm offering a fair market price, then competition at this Tier will stop. The one qualified firm from the First Tier will compete in the Second Tier Competition. Second Tier Competition is defined as competition among eligible small business concerns providing 51% or more of the direct labor dollars proposed for the required contract effort. If adequate competition and fair market price requirements are met under the Second Tier, competition at the Third Tier will not occur and award will be made at the Second Tier. In the event that adequate competition and fair market price requirements cannot be met under the Second Tier Competition, and there is only one technically qualified firm offering a fair market price, then competition at this Tier will stop. The one qualified firm from the Second Tier will compete in the Third Tier Competition. Third Tier Competition is defined as an unrestricted, full and open competition with selection of an awardee based upon a best value determination pursuant to FAR 15.3.
