(c) Do not use the price evaluation adjustment in acquisitions-
(1) That are less than or equal to the simplified acquisition threshold;
(2) That are awarded pursuant to the 8(a) Program;
(3) That are set aside for small business concerns;
(4) That are set aside for HUBZone small business concerns;
(5) That are set-aside for service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns;
(6) Where price is not a selection factor so that a price evaluation adjustment would not be considered (e.g., architect/engineer acquisitions); or
(7) Where all fair and reasonable offers are accepted (e.g., the award of multiple award schedule contracts).
