Abstract:

A class of unbalanced bidding problems appropriate for unit price proposals is indentified. Using the present worth of future revenue as an objective, several models are constructed for optimal unbalancing of a bid. A linear programming formulation is found to emerge in a natural way. The implications of unbalanced bidding to both the bidder and the sponsor are considered.
