Rating Definition Acceptable Successfully completing concurrent work across the four disciplines identified within Attachment 4.

Unacceptable Not performing or unsuccessfully performing concurrent work across the four disciplines identified within Attachment 4 or the Government was unable to verify the information with the listed reference.

• Past performance references must be recent as defined as occurring within the last 3 years.

The sum of all extended amounts for each year of the ordering period will be entered in the summary, page 1 of the Bid Schedule. The total of five years of the ordering period will be the Offeror's total proposed price.

• In order to meet the requirements of FAR Parts 6 and 17, the Government will evaluate the option to extend services under FAR Clause 52.217-8 by adding one-half of the Offeror's final year of the five-year ordering period prices to the Offeror's total proposed price.

Offerors shall not submit a price for the potential six-month extension of services period.

• The offeror must provide a third-party payment fee for each year within

Attachment 1, Bid Schedule. This fee will be evaluated for price fair and reasonableness. If this fee cannot be determined fair and reasonable or the offeror fails to input a percentage, the offer may not be eligible for award.
