In addition to its hardcopy proposal, the

Offeror’s completed worksheets shall be submitted to FSA in Microsoft Excel 2003 format via electronic mail (e- mail and CD). Any other format may be unreadable by FSA and will result in the Offeror’s pricing not being considered; thus resulting in a material non-conformity and ineligibility for award.

Offerors shall include an explanation of other factors to be considered along with proposed prices in the written pricing volume. The Offeror shall submit the following information:

(a) A description of the method that will be used by the Contractor to record and bill for hours under task orders. The accounting practices for each member shall be clearly. The descriptions will be incorporated into the contract and effective for T&M and labor-hour task orders.

(d) A detailed description of the pricing methodology or algorithm for developing rates. This information will be used to determine specific rates as requirements occur.

Note: Failure to offer ceiling rates for all labor categories and all contract periods will affect the ability of the Government to evaluate the proposal and will result in Offeror ineligibility for award.

Unrealistically low prices may indicate an inability to understand requirements and a high-risk approach to contract performance. Accordingly, the Government may consider the findings of such an analysis in evaluating an Offeror’s ability to perform and the risk of its approach.

L.9. 3 Volume III – Past Performance

Tab A – Past Performance: Quality Sub-Factor (Ten (10) page limit, excluding Past

Performance Questionnaire)

(federal, state, or local) or by Non-Governmental Entities.

M.3.5 Factor E – Price

The Government will evaluate the price of the Offeror’s proposal by multiplying the proposed fully burdened hourly rate for each proposed labor category by the ceiling number of hours proposed for that labor category, and then totaling those sums to derive a total for the contract period. The Government will add the total for each contract period (base year and four one-year options) to derive the evaluated price for this acquisition.

The Government will evaluate price proposals to determine fairness and reasonableness. Prices that are determined to be either unreasonably high or unrealistically low in relation to the proposed work may result in the overall proposal being considered unacceptable.

The Offeror’s proposed price will also be considered in the context of price risk and affordability. In this context, price risk is the Government’s level of confidence if the Offeror’s ability to perform as proposed based on:

a. The price information provided by the Offeror and gathered from other sources

b. The completeness of the Offeror’s price documentation and traceability to the Offeror’s proposal

c. The reasonableness and realism of the Offeror’s proposed price

d. The degree of stated or implied cost risk passed to the Government
