Tried this kind of contract they don’t award to the lowest bids. There are 3-4 other factors that take higher priority.

From what I recall from NASA Artemis contracts selection process, all bids are weighted with two parameters in addition to the proposed cost: technical merits of the proposal and the confidence score based on the company's management and previous performance.
