Award will be made to the offeror based on best value in the order of the functional and technical specification, past performance and price for the government. Award will be based on meeting the technical specifications listed above on an All or None basis, and the best value to the government. The government may elect to pay a cost premium to select an offeror whose ratings on non-cost evaluation factors (e.g. technical quality and past performance) are superior. A “premium” is defined as the cost difference between the lowest evaluated cost of a technically acceptable offer and a higher priced offer deemed to be superior from a Technical Quality and / or Past Performance standpoint.
