A. The Authority may determine at any time during the evaluation period and before Award that an Offer is not susceptible for Award or not within the Competitive Range. The Authority shall place a written determination, based on one or more of the following, in the Procurement File:

1. The Offer fails to substantially meet one or more of the mandatory requirements of the Solicitation;

2. The Offer fails to comply with any susceptibility criteria identified in the Solicitation; or

3. The Offer is not susceptible for Award or is not within the Competitive Range in comparison to other Offers based on the criteria set forth in the Solicitation. When there is doubt as to whether an Offer is susceptible for Award or is in the Competitive Range, the Offer should be included for further consideration.

B. The Authority shall promptly notify the Offeror in writing of the final determination that the Offer is not susceptible for Award or not within the Competitive Range, unless the Authority determines notification to the Offeror would compromise the Authority's ability to negotiate with other Offerors.
