Consequently, the initial offer submitted by the offeror should reflect the best terms from both a pricing and technical perspective. Nevertheless, the Government retains the right to initiate discussions if deemed necessary by the Contracting Officer at a later stage. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action serves the public interest; accept offers that are not the lowest; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in the received offers.
