The Government seeks to award to the offeror who provides the best value in meeting or exceeding the requirements. This may result in awards to a higher-rated, higher-priced offeror, where the decision is consistent with the evaluation factors and the contracting officer reasonably determines that the technical superiority, overall business approach or superior past performance of the higher-priced offeror outweighs the price difference.
