The Government considers a Contractor?s capabilities to be as important as price. However, the Government will not select a Contractor for award on the basis of a superior capability without consideration of the amount of its price. The relative influence that capability and price will have on the source selection decision will depend on the marginal differences among the competing Contractors. Source Selection Decision In order to select the winning offer, the Government will rank the Contractors from best to worst by making a series of paired comparisons among them, trading off the marginal difference in capability and price between the members of each pair. If one Contractor has the better capability and the lower price, then that Contractor will be the better value. If one Contractor has the better capability and the higher price, then the source selection decision will be based on whether the marginal difference in capability is worth the marginal difference in price. If the Contracting Officer considers the better capability to be worth the higher price, then the more capable, higher-priced Contractor will be the better value.
