Revised Factor H – Price

The Total Price of the Sample Project Proposal (See Attachment E – Revised Sample Project) will be used for comparative evaluation of competitive offers.

The offerors price proposal will be evaluated separately from the non-priced Evaluation Factors listed above in the RFP. The government may consider all proposed pricing elements to determine if proposed prices are reasonable and/or realistic, including:

• Attachment E Revised Sample Project Proposal

• Attachment F The 10-Year Labor Category Worksheet

• Attachment G The 10-Year Licensing Worksheet

The individual fully burdened hourly labor rates will be further assessed for reasonableness. The sample project pricing will be evaluated for price reasonableness and may also be evaluated for realism as described below.

• Compare proposals with the IGE/IGCE

• Compare proposals to each other

• Compare proposed prices with historical prices paid

• Compare proposed prices with commercially/publicly available information

• Internet search

• Predicable licensing costs that follow historical inflation or historical agency budget allocations.

• Perpetual, unlimited or enterprise licensing discounts.

• Licensing models that give the Government flexibility in future hosting and migration.
