Evaluation: IAW FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation-Commercial Items, the Government will award a contract to the quoter whose quotation is judged to represent the best value to the Government based on Price, Past Performance, and Technical Factors.

Price: Evaluation of price will consider the total of the annual prices for all contract years (five year ordering period), with each year’s price evaluated as the sum of the prices of all contract line items (CLINs) for that year.

FAR 52.217-8 will be evaluated at the pricing of the final option year divided by two. In the event of an extension under this clause, it will be exercised at the prices of the prior contract year.

Technical: The technical approach will be evaluated to determine if it clearly demonstrates a complete and realistic plan to meet the requirement as stated in the Statement of Work.

Past Performance: Evaluation of past performance will consider past performance information obtained from any suitable source, such as Air Force automated past performance data bases (i.e.

CPARS, PPIRS), direct local business experience with the quoter, or similar.
