Retinal camera shall have ultra-wide field capabilities for undilated pupil exams. BASIS FOR AWARD: Selection of the successful offeror will be made based on the evaluation criteria. The quotations will be evaluated and a contract awarded under the Best Value Continuum approach to permit tradeoffs among cost or price and non-cost factors. This will allow the Government to consider award to other than the lowest priced offeror or other than the highest technically rated offeror who meets or exceeds the technical acceptability standards established in the factors referenced above. Technical and past performance, when combined, are approximately equal to cost or price. SOURCE SELECTION DECISION: In order to determine which offeror represents the best value to the government, the source selection authority will rank the offerors from best to worst This will be accomplished by making a series of paired comparisons among the offerors by trading off the marginal differences in non-cost/price factors and price. If one offeror has both the better capability and lower price, then that offeror will be the better value. If one offeror has the better capability and a higher price, the source selection authority will decide whether the difference in capability is worth the difference in price. If the source selection authority considers the better capability to be worth the higher price, then the more capable, higher-priced offeror will be the better value. If not, then the less capable, lower-priced offeror will be the better value. The source selection authority will continue to make paired comparisons until she has decided which offeror represents the best value.
