Financial Evaluation
PWGSC will conduct a financial evaluation against all technically responsive bids by comparing the relative cost of the per diem rates in each Region and Metropolitan Area for each Category and Level of Expertise.

Any offer proposing a per diem rate that falls between the"Median" minus 30% and the "Median"  plus 30% for a specific Category and Level of Expertise within a Region and Metropolitan Area will be considered financially responsive and recommended for the issuance of a standing offer.
 
The "Median" will be calculated based on the per diem rates submitted by all bidders for that Category, Level,Region, and Metropolitan Area.  A "Median" is the middle offer in a set of
offers whereby half the offers are greater and half are lower. For example, in the following set of numbers: 100, 150, 200,400, 900, the median would be 200. In the following set of numbers: 100, 150, 200, 300, 400, 900, the median would be 250.
