Question: In case of "split award", will the contractor will be awarded by each route/type of truck?

(Example: A010: From North Dock to Yokosuka 2-ton truck → Offeror A receives an award; 3～10-ton → Offeror B receives an award.)

Or the contractor will be awarded by the Area of Performance?

(Example: Group I → Offeror A; Group II → Offeror B)

Answer: Please see SF1449, page 27 of 35, para (d)(2)(i) of Addendum to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items:

(i) The Government anticipates the following possible award scenarios from price proposal(s) combinations that meet all other evaluation factors:

1. One contract for all Split Areas “Group I + Group II”

2. Two contracts; one for Split Area “Group I”, and one for Split Area “Group II”

Therefore, split award is possible by the Area of Performance and not by each route.
