Price” wording set forth in this Solicitation’s major-Section-M—the following text:

“Each offeror’s price/cost proposal will be evaluated to determine whether the proposal features reasonableness and realism, and entails cost-risk”.

And this Solicitation Amendment No. 2 SUBSTITUTES, in lieu of the deleted text set forth above, the following revised text:

“Each offeror’s price/cost proposal will be evaluated to determine whether the proposal features reasonableness and realism, and whether it takes cost-risk into consideration.”
