However, the degree of importance of cost or price may increase with the degree of non-cost or non-price equality between the proposals.

The Contracting Officer also reserves the right to make award to a lower-cost/price, lower-scored offeror if it is determined that the cost/price premium involved in awarding to a higher-rated, higher-cost/price offeror is not justified. C) Pursuant to FAR 15.305, a cost or price evaluation may be performed to determine the reasonableness of costs or prices proposed and the offeror's understanding of, and ability to perform, the prospective contract. The Government is prohibited from awarding a contract to an offeror unless their proposed prices are determined to be fair and reasonable.
