This will be determined by comparing differences in the value of technical, management, and safety features with differences in cost to the Government. In making this comparison the Government is concerned with striking the most advantageous balance between TECHNICAL, MANAGEMENT, and SAFETY features and COST to the Government.

Price Proposals from those offerors whose TECHNICAL PROPOSAL is considered to be in the Competitive Range will be opened. The bidding schedule will be provided in the solicitation. The Competitive Range will consist of the most highly rated Technical Proposals, and will be determined by the Contracting Officer. A Government Estimate will be prepared and will be used in the evaluation of the required Pricing Proposals. Price reasonableness that matches the proposed technical approach is considered to be a critical factor in the Government's evaluation. However, award of a contract will not be based solely on the lowest Price Proposal. Significant, unexplained differences where proposed prices do not match the proposed technical approach and risk involved may result in a proposal being removed from the Competitive Range. If required, discussions will be conducted with all of the offerors in the Competitive Range. The Government has reserved the right to award the contract without discussions.
