The bid coefficientshall be an all inclusive multiplier as stipulated in the solicitation. The award will be made to the firm(s) that represents the best value to the government. In accordance with FAR 15.404, price analysis will be used to determine price reasonableness and the offerors understanding of the work requirements/line items (i.e., unreasonably high prices, as compared to other offers received, may indicate the offeror does not fully understand the requirements/line items of the solicitation) and the ability to perform the contract.
