(a) The Government will award an indefinite delivery/requirements contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

(i)TECHNICAL CAPABILITY -An offeror’s quotation will be considered technically acceptable if the item offered meets the specifications in the Performance Work Statement (Complete "Make & Model" Column in Attachment 2). Quotations that do not meet these requirements will be considered unacceptable and therefore under the evaluation process will not be considered for award.

(ii) PRICE - pricing schedule (Attachment 2) will be evaluated on a comparative basis amongst all received quotations and the Government's estimate.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for Exhibit Line Items (ELINs) A00N, A00P, A00R, A00V, and A00W through all Option Years (Exhibits B - E) to the total price for the same ELINs in the Base Year. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

Additionally, a price for the six-month extension authorized by 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, will be added to the total arrived at above. The price for the six-month extension will be calculated using the prices listed in ELINs E00N, E00P, E00R, 48th Fighter Wing (USAFE)

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed, or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
