Application of the FSS procedures under
Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) 8.4 is considered full and open competition (see
FAR 6.102(d)(3) ). By placing an order with
ConEdison Solutions against a schedule using the procedures in this section, Federal customers will be able to select a provider of energy and energy services on the basis of "best value". This type of relationship will result in the lowest overall cost (considering price, special features, administrative costs, etc.) to the Government.
