 Explain why the selected offeror's proposal(s) was (were) determined to provide best value.

 Illustrate the SSA's thought process in making the integrated assessment.

 Demonstrate how the comparative analysis resulted in the award decision and explain why the selected offeror(s) should receive the contract award(s).

 On occasion, the SSA may draw a conclusion regarding a specific rating that is different from the award recommendation(s) provided by the SSET or SSAC, when used.  When this occurs, it is especially important to explain the SSA's basis for his or her different conclusion on the rating.
