The Offeror shall submit a Technical and Business Management Proposal as described in Section L of the Solicitation. This part of the proposal shall consist of the sections described in L 11. Note that Offerors may be required to successfully pass a Live Test Demonstration which demonstrates their systems capability to meet the Governments functional and technical requirements. A pass/fail factor is assigned to the Live Test Demonstration. Failure to pass the Live Test Demonstration will preclude an Offeror from further consideration.

All fees imposed by the Contractor, whether they are to be imposed against USDA/CCC, a vendor participant in the commodity sale, or the vendor purchaser shall be part of the evaluation process.
Proposal Evaluation Factors:

The Government may, after evaluation of proposals, conduct further oral or written discussion as appropriate, with all offerors whose proposals are within a competitive range.
The Government reserves the right to make multiple awards if, after considering the additional administrative costs, it is in the Governments best interest to do so.
Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).
