If the Government elects to exercise the option period, funding will be provided via a modification at that time.

The Government would like to make it clear that Offerors should provide the same information for the possible option year as provided for the base period of performance. Option year pricing will be locked in at the award of the base year with the option to fund and exercise the option at the discretion of the government.

The Government reserves the right to request other than certified current cost and pricing data in order to evaluate price proposals submitted in response to this competitive solicitation.

Offerors are advised that providing incorrect reference information may lead the government to consider a reduced technical score as a result of poor or lacking quality control on the part of the offeror.

The Government would like to make it clear that Past Performance documentation will not count towards the 15 page maximum.

M.3. AWARD WITHOUT DISCUSSIONS/COMPETITIVE RANGE

It is the Government’s intent to award without discussions; however, should the government determine that negotiations are necessary, and then a competitive range will be established. Only those most highly rated proposals will be considered for the competitive range and, as such, will be invited into discussions with an opportunity to submit a final revised proposal. It must be noted that the Government considers that efficient competition can be maintained if the number of proposals in the competitive range for the award does not exceed a reasonable expectation for a timely award, therefore, pursuant to the rights afforded to the Contracting Officer per FAR 15.306(c)(2); the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

SECTION K - REPRESENTATIONS, CERTIFICATIONS, AND OTHER STATEMENTS OF OFFERORS OR QUOTERS The offeror shall provide the following FAR certification.
