4.5  SOURCE SELECTION RECOMMENDATION

(Provide a source selection recommendation for the SSA to consider.  The recommendation is from the SSAC, if used, or the SSET.  Rationale for the recommendation shall be based upon the evaluation criteria of the solicitation.  In the event that there is significant disagreement among the SSET or SSAC members regarding the recommendation, a minority opinion shall be provided with sufficient information for the SSA to fully consider the minority view. The source selection recommendation must also address the relative order of importance of the evaluation criteria in order to prove that the evaluation team understood and applied the relative order of importance of the evaluation criteria.  Otherwise, the recommendation might be suspect and result in a challenge by an unsuccessful offeror alleging failure to follow the stated evaluation structure )
