VOLUME III – PRICE PROPOSAL

The Offeror must provide pricing for each Contract Line-Item Number (CLIN) detailed in Schedule B (Attachment J.2) for the base and each option period.

The Government intends to assess the proposed pricing to determine reasonableness and completeness. Any inconsistencies between proposed performance and price must clearly be justified. For example, if unique and innovative approaches are the basis for an abnormally low proposed price, the nature of these approaches and their impact to the proposed price must be clearly documented.

The burden of credibility of price (ex. abnormally low) rests solely with the Offeror. The following evaluation criteria must apply:

o Price reasonableness evaluations will use the procedures and techniques of RFO Subpart 15.4. Unbalanced pricing will be grounds for finding an offer unacceptable.

An Offeror’s price proposal will be evaluated to determine whether the Offeror provided sufficient data as required by the solicitation.

An analysis may be used to determine if the proposed pricing is unrealistically low in relation to the Government's Independent Cost

Estimate, market conditions evidenced by other competitive proposals received, and the Offeror's technical / management approach, such that there is a risk the Offeror does not understand the procurement’s technical requirements or may not satisfactorily perform at the proposed price. The government will reject proposals for offering prices that are determined to be unrealistic.

Offeror’s must submit the following documents with Volume III:

o A signed SF 1449 and any amendments.

o Proof of the amount and types of insurance detailed in solicitation section H. 17 H.3.

o A completed and signed copy of GSA Form 527 – Contractor’s Qualification and Financial Information.
