(2) The GLS may reject any or all proposals if such action is in the GLS' interest. (3) The GLS may waive informalities and minor irregularities in proposals received. (4) The GLS intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror’s initial quote should contain the offeror’s best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The GLS reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.
