If, however, a contract is awarded to this offeror as a result of--or in connection with-- the s ub m i ss i o n of this data, the Government shall have the right to duplicate, use, or disclose the data to the extent p ro vid ed in the resulting contract.

(8) The Government may determine that a proposal is unacceptable if the prices proposed are materially unbalanced be t wee n line items or subline items. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more line items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. A proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

(9) If a cost realism analysis is performed, cost realism may be considered by the source selection authority in evaluating performance or schedule risk.

(10) A written award or acceptance of proposal mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time specified in the proposal shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

(11) If a post-award debriefing is given to requesting offerors, the Government shall disclose the following information, if applicable:

(i) The agency's evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed offeror's offer.
