Accordingly, under this methodology, the technical factors of some proposals may not be evaluated by the Navy. If discussions are deemed necessary by the Contracting Officer, all proposals will be evaluated (both non-price and price) for the purpose of establishing a competitive range. Proposers are advised that the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award without discussions or any contact concerning the proposals received.
