The Postal Service bases contract award decisions on best value. The USPS is concerned with making an award to the supplier striking the appropriate balance of technical features and price. The USPS will not, however, make award to a higher priced offer which provides only marginal additional technical value. As technical scores become closer, then price becomes more important as to selection. However, the USPS may not necessarily make an award at the lowest price in order to achieve a small price savings if better value can be achieved with superior technical features. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: Technical Evaluation Plan: Sections include Eligibility, Bonding Information, Financial Condition & Capability, Supplier Capability and Past Performance. The Technical Evaluation Plan will be assessed and scored on a scale of 100 points. Solicitation Attachment 11 contains the scoring breakdown.
