If there are only Commercial Evaluators for any given RFQ, the evaluation process is only done by the Commercial Evaluators. First, one or more assigned commercial evaluators will perform the evaluation, after which the final commercial evaluation is performed by the Chief Commercial Evaluator.
Commercial Evaluators will be able to choose only from the responses already selected by the Technical Evaluators but are provided with the provision to only view responses outside the selection made by Technical Evaluators. The process of selection is similar to the one performed by the Technical Evaluators.
