Following the renewal of Task-Based Request for Standing Offers
and Supply Arrangements (RFSOSA), Solicitation No.
E60ZN-13TSPS/B reference number:  PW-$$ZN-003-25969  and
pursuant to the Financial Evaluation methodology set out in the
solicitation as extracted hereunder:  

2.	Conduct of 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, while the median minus 30% would
be 140 and the median plus 30% would be 260. In the following
set of numbers: 100, 150, 200, 300, 400, 900, the median would
be 250, while the median minus 30% would be 175 and the median
plus 30% would be 325.
