Total cost of ownership (TCO) estimates should be reviewed to confirm that they remain at or below the funding objective established in Section 1-5, Assess Resources. Otherwise, the purchase/SCM team should revisit the requirement and RFP documentation to make appropriate adjustments. If the TCO estimate exceeds the funding objective, the RFP must be adjusted to reflect accurate project scope, schedule, prices, and other criteria accordingly, so the expected cost falls within requested funding levels.
