(b) Final proposal revisions are subject to--
(1) A final evaluation of price or cost and other salient factors by the Contracting Officer and Project Officer, with assistance from a cost/price analyst, as appropriate; and
(2) An evaluation of technical factors by the technical evaluation panel, as necessary.
The technical evaluation panel may rescore and re-rank technical proposals in the competitive range and prepare a technical evaluation report. To the extent practicable, the same evaluators who reviewed the original proposals shall perform the evaluation. The Contracting Officer and Project Officer shall conduct a final evaluation of past performance. The technical evaluation panel may be involved in the final evaluation of past performance, if the panel is comprised solely of Government personnel.
