Unbalanced Bidding in Government Contracts

Abstract

This chapter presents a general overview of unbalanced offers in the Government procurement process focusing on how they are recognized and when they are unacceptable. In the course of procuring needed goods and services the Government agency will solicit offers from interested contractors. The solicitation may be requesting offers to perform a single or multi-year supply, service, or construction contract; a variable quantity service or supply contract, an option contract, or a single or multi-item supply contract. Regardless of the type of contract vehicle used by the agency, the goal is the same: to make award to the competitor whose offer is most advantageous to the Government. Contracts. (jes)
