Quotes will be evaluated by performing a comparative evaluation of quotations in accordance with FAR Overhaul 12.203(C)(2).

Unbalanced refers to a situation where an Quoters places unreasonably high values on certain items and an unreasonable low value on others within a unit price contract. An unbalanced Quote may be rejected if it raises concerns about the overall cost effectiveness of the Quote, as it could lead to the Government paying unreasonably high prices for contract performance.
