New Developments in Past Performance Evaluations - Source Selection Decisions
Price/technical tradeoffs may be made and to the extent one is sacrificed for the other only the test of rationality and consistency with evaluation factors may be considered. The GAO has ruled on numerous protests that under negotiated procurements source selection officials will have broad discretion how they will make the technical versus price tradeoffs. Even when price is the least important evaluation factor, the agency’s decision to grant the award to a lower priced, lower rated offeror was justified when the higher priced, higher rated proposal was not considered worth the premium price (NAPA Supply of Grand Forks Inc. B-280996).
