Section 2: Exceptions and Assumptions (if required) – The Quoter shall identify and explain any exceptions, deviations or assumptions used in preparing its proposal.

(b) Volume 2 – Technical Approach

This Volume shall be clear, concise, and include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims in the Quoter’s submission. Legibility, clarity, and coherence are very important.

The quote should not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements, but rather shall provide convincing rationale to address how the Quoter intends to meet these requirements.

Statements that the Quoter understands, can, or will comply with the PWS (including referenced publications, technical data, etc.); statements paraphrasing the PWS or parts thereof (including applicable publications, technical data, etc.); and phrases such as “standard procedures will be employed” or “well known techniques will be used,” etc., will be considered technically unacceptable. Quoter shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities and experience and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the Quoter’s submission. Elaborate brochures or documentation, binding, detailed artwork, or other embellishments are unnecessary and are not desired.

This Volume shall, at a minimum, be prepared in a form consistent with the PWS and the evaluation criteria for award set forth in this solicitation at Addendum to 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items. The section shall be prepared in an orderly format and in sufficient detail to enable the Government to make a thorough evaluation of the contractor’s technical competence and ability to comply with the contract requirements specified in the PWS. The Quoter shall address as specifically as possible the actual methodology you would use for accomplishing the PWS tasks. This volume shall be organized as follows:

Section 1: Volume 1 - Technical Approach - The Quoter shall provide a technical approach quote that clearly demonstrates that the Quoter understands the requirement in its entirety; has an acceptable methodology to perform all tasks successfully and on time, and has an efficient, effective, and sound approach to plan, organize, control, and perform the services and deliverables outlined in the PWS. The Quoter’s overall technical approach shall have little potential to disrupt or degrade performance.

(c) Volume 3 – Price

I. This volume shall contain all required pricing information described below. The Quoter shall ONLY include pricing information in Volume 3.

II. Certified cost or pricing date is not required. The Quoter shall provide data reasonably required to explain the price estimating process to include data related to prices (e.g., established catalog or market prices, hours by labor category).

III. The Quoter shall identify each labor category subjected to the Service Contract Labor Standards. The Quoter shall provide this information for any additional labor categories used in staffing the requirement. For labor categories that are non-exempt under this contract, calculate price using the wage determination for the specific location the individual will be assigned. Go to www.SAM.gov to locate the applicable wage determination.

IV. The fully burdened labor rates proposed for each year cannot be adjusted except for instances where the labor categories are subject to the Service Contract Labor Standards and a revision is permitted under the provisions of FAR Clause 52.222-41 – Service Contract Labor Standards and FAR Clause 52.222-43 -- Fair Labor Standards Act and Service Contract Labor Standards -- Price Adjustment (Multiple Year and Option Contracts). Therefore, the Quoter is cautioned to include inflation where warranted.

The Price Volume shall be organized as follows:

Section 1: Complete Schedule of Contract Line Item (CLIN) Pricing – The contract line items shall be submitted fully completed and error free for base year and option year. It shall contain the Quoter’s prices for the established CLINs.

Section 2: Price – This section shall consist of all information required to support the quoted prices. All final monetary extension shall be in whole dollars only. The Quoter is required to submit (i) a price narrative (PDF format), and (ii) price quote (Attachment 2 Pricing Worksheet).

These narratives shall clearly explain the methodologies, calculations, exceptions and assumptions used in developing the price.

A. BASIC FOR CONTRACT AWARD

1. The basis for award will be fair and reasonable price that is technical acceptability.

2. The Government will evaluate the quoted price for completeness and reasonableness using price analysis techniques identified in FAR 13.106. The price must be determined to be at a fair market value for the effort.

1.2 The Government will evaluate the Quoter’s ability to provide the capabilities as outlined in the PWS.

2. Price. The Quoter’s total price will be evaluated for fair market price, completeness, balance, and price reasonableness in accordance with FAR 19.202-6 and 13.106-2. Through these techniques, the Government will determine whether quote price is reasonable, complete, and balanced. The total evaluated price will include the quoted price for the base year and all option years. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

2.1 Evaluation of Options to Extend Services IAW FAR 52.217-8: The Government will evaluate its option to extend services by adding six (6) months of the Quoter's final option period price to the Quoter's total price.

The Government may choose to exercise the Extension of Services at the end of any performance period (base or option periods), utilizing the rates of that performance period.
