How You Calculate Automatic Award Recommendation

You can have the application generate a default award recommendation that you can accept and use as the basis of your award decision. The automatic award recommendation is a recommendation only. To use it, you must accept it and complete the award process.

How the Automatic Award Recommendation Is Calculated

The automatic award recommendation is based on price offered in the supplier responses (if Multiattribute Scoring is in effect, the recommendation is based on price/score). No additional response adjustments such as cost factors, manually scored header requirements, or price breaks are considered.

For each line, the application awards the full quantity from the best supplier response to that line. If the line quantity being asked in the negotiation is still not full, the application awards the quantity from the next best supplier responses and so on until the line quantity is satisfied.
