25.504-3 FTA/Israeli Trade Act.

  1. (a) Example 1.

    Offer A$105,000Domestic end product, small business
    Offer B$100,000Eligible product

    Analysis: Since the low offer is an eligible offer, award on the low offer (see 25.502(c)(1)).

  2. (b) Example 2.

    Offer A$105,000Eligible product
    Offer B$103,000Noneligible product

    Analysis: Since the acquisition is not covered by the WTO GPA, the contracting officer can consider the noneligible offer. Since no domestic offer was received, make a nonavailability determination and award on Offer B (see 25.502(c)(2)).

  3. (c) Example 3.

    Offer A$105,000Domestic end product, large business
    Offer B$103,000Eligible product
    Offer C$100,000Noneligible product

Analysis: Since the acquisition is not covered by the WTO GPA, the contracting officer can consider the noneligible offer. Because the eligible offer (Offer B) is lower than the domestic offer (Offer A), no evaluation factor applies to the low offer (Offer C). Award on the low offer (see 25.502(c)(3)).
