(1) “Acceptable” means the proposal meets the minimum requirements identified in the solicitation for the respective area.

(2) “Unacceptable” means the proposal does not meet the minimum requirements identified in the solicitation for the respective area.

(c) The Government will evaluate Volume 1 Technical Acceptability to determine for each CLIN location proposed, where the Primary Production Facility and Primary Transfill Facility are separate facilities, whether –

(1) The Offeror’s Primary Production Facility information provided on Attachment 2, Capability Form, blocks 10A. Primary Production Facility, 10C/10 C(1).

(3) The Offeror’s Distribution Information provided on Attachment 2, Capability Form, blocks 12A. Average Number of Trucks Tanker Trailers, 12B. Average Truck Tanker Trailer Capacity and 12C. Average Number of Drivers meet or exceed the requirements specified in Attachment 1, Statement of Work. Failure to meet requirements shall render an Offeror ineligible for award.

The Government will evaluate Volume 1 Technical Acceptability to determine for each CLIN location proposed, where the Primary Production Facility and Primary Transfill Facility are the same facility, whether –

(1) The Offeror’s Primary Production Facility information provided on Attachment 2, Capability Form, blocks 10A. Primary Production Facility, 10C/10 C(1). Maximum and Average Fixed Storage, 10D/10D(1). Maximum and Average Daily Production and 10E/10 E(1). Maximum and Average Monthly Production meet or exceed the requirements specified in Attachment 1, Statement of Work.

(a) The Government will evaluate price proposals in accordance with FAR Subpart 15.4, Contract Pricing and may use one or more of the various price analysis techniques and procedures found at FAR 15.404-1(b) to ensure a fair and reasonable price.

(b) For purposes of source selection, the total evaluated price for each CLIN location will consist of the sum of (1) (2) and (3) as follows:

(1) The Helium unit product price for base period 1, base period 2, and option period 1 multiplied by the respective period BEQs.

(2) The Delivery Charge Evaluation Bracket 5 price for base period 1, base period 2, and option period 1 multiplied by the respective period BEQ.

(3) The Other Pricing unit price for base period 1, base period 2, and option period 1 multiplied by the BEQs for each Other Pricing item.

(c) For Helium unit price CLIN 13, the Offeror’s unit price for base period 2 and option period
