5. Price Proposal Offerors are required to submit pricing on all CLINs. BASIC AND OPTION PERIOD UNIT PRICING

(a) Offerors are cautioned against offering more than one price, a range of prices, or a split bid with respect to any contract line item and are advised that, for purposes of this procurement, DLA Disposition Services will consider any such method of pricing to be a material deviation from the bid schedule and/or a nonconforming proposal that will be excluded from further consideration. Offerors must list only one price for any individual CLIN in any single contract period. NOTE: Zero ($0.00) unit pricing will NOT be accepted.

(b) Unit prices which exceed two (2) digits right of the decimal will be subject to standard rounding conversion as described below.

(c) Standard Rounding Conversion – Rounding up means to increase the terminating digit by a value of 1 and drop off the digits to the right. If the next place beyond the terminating decimal is greater than or equal to five (5), the number will be rounded up. For example, 5.438 will be rounded up to 5.44. If the number to the right of the terminating decimal place is four or less (4, 3, 2, 1, 0), the number will be rounded down. This is done by leaving the last decimal place as it is given and discarding all digits to its right. For example, 6.734 will be rounded down to 6.73.
