3. VOLUME I – PRICE QUOTE (FACTOR 1)

3.1 Insert prices for CLINS 0001, 0002, and 0003, all option periods for those CLINS (1001, 1002, 2001, 2002, 3001, 3002, 4001, 4002) as well as total prices in the Price Schedule for: Base Year and four (4) option periods (price for 6 additional months will be considered by 31 CONS evaluation team utilizing the last option year monthly price). Insert proposed unit and extended prices. All proposed prices shall be submitted in U.S. Dollars. CLIN 0004 and all option CLINS associated with Travel (1002, 2002, 3002, 4002) will be evaluated at $5,000.00 for each CLIN for all received Offers. Please do not insert separate prices into these CLINS as they will they will be evaluated at $5,000.00 for each travel CLIN, regardless of what offeror inputs.

NOTE: Unit prices no more than 2 decimals.

vs.

1.2.1. FACTOR 1 – Price.

The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes considering the Total Evaluated Price (TEP) including:

Base Year and four (4) option periods and price for the potential 6 month extension covered by Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) 52.217-8- Option to Extend Services. The evaluation of this potential extension shall be accomplished by adding an additional 6 months using the same monthly prices as proposed for the final option period, to the total price for the basic requirement.

Explained: (Total Price for all priced CLINS) + (6 additional months at final option price) = TEP

a) As noted in FAR 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors, CLINS 0002, and 4002 will be evaluated at $25,000.00 per

CLIN.

Im confused how these two parts work together for numbers. Am I missing the calculations? I assumed each year for the contract seeing as all having all 5 years were awarded, $5,000 per. Is that were the $25,000 comes from? There are a few different CLINS item numbers on each section.

Or is it that CLINS 0002 and 4002 are each $25,000?

Can I get a break down or summary for what each of these sections mean?”

A: There is an error in 52.212-1 Addendum. CLINS are as follows 0001,1001,2001,3001,4001. Two additional CLINS for $25,000.00 each are 0002 and 4002. An Amendment will be made to correct this issue. In the meantime, assume the CLINS are the later of the two varients above.

9. I have one more question. If I have a Duns in the US, would I also need one for Italy?

A: The DUNS is the same no matter the location. Your stateside DUNS will suffice.
