4.4.1 General Instructions
4.4.2 Price Reasonableness
This section is to assist you in submitting data other than certified cost or pricing data that is required to evaluate the reasonableness, and the balance of your proposed price. Compliance with these requirements is mandatory and failure to comply may result in rejection of your proposal. Note that unrealistically low or high proposed prices, initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition either on the basis that the offeror does not understand the requirement or has submitted an unrealistic proposal. Additionally, unbalanced pricing poses an unacceptable risk to the Government and may be a reason to reject an offeror’s proposal. Offers should be sufficiently detailed to demonstrate their reasonableness and the proposed price. The burden of proof for credibility of proposed prices rests with the offeror.
4.4.3 Price Data
Data beyond that required by this instruction shall not be submitted, unless you consider it essential to document or support your price position. All data relating to the proposed price, including all required supporting documentation, must be included in the section of the proposal designated as the Price volume.

4.4.4 Cost or Pricing Data Requirements

Data shall be provided in accordance with FAR 15.403-5. If, after receipt of proposals, the CO determines that there is insufficient data available to determine price reasonableness and none of the exceptions in FAR 15.403-1 apply, the offeror shall be required to submit additional cost or pricing data.
4.4.5 Rounding
All dollar amounts provided shall be rounded to the nearest dollar. All loaded labor rates shall be rounded to the nearest penny.
4.4.6 Volume Organization
The Price volume shall consist of the following sections:
SECTION 1 ‑ Table of Contents; summary descriptions of estimating, purchasing, and accounting systems; changes to estimating, accounting practices, or Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) Disclosure Statement if applicable.
SECTION 2 – Data other than certified cost or pricing data, to include estimating methodology.
4.5 General Information:
4.5.1 Discrepancies: If an offeror believes that the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, or are otherwise unsound, the offeror shall immediately notify the CO in writing with supporting rationale as well as the remedies the offeror is asking the CO to consider as related to the omission or error. The offeror is reminded that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussion. Accordingly, offerors are advised to submit initial proposals that are fully and clearly acceptable without additional information. This reservation includes matters of additional or substitute pages of the initial proposal.
4.5.2 Debriefings: Offerors excluded at any time during the source selection process will be afforded the opportunity to request a post-award debriefing in accordance with FAR 52.212-1(l). Information relating to other offerors proposals will not be disclosed.

4.5.3.1 Submission of proposal will constitute acceptance of the statement in paragraph 4.5.3.1.2
Or Offeror’s shall provide written objection to disclosure as indicated in paragraph 4.5.3.1.1. If the
Offeror objects to disclosure of a portion of the proposal, the consent in 4.5.3.1.2 should be provided for the remainder of the proposal.
4.5.3.1.1 Any objection to disclosure:
· Shall be provided in writing to the Contracting Officer within 5 days of RFP issuance; and
· Shall include a detailed statement of the basis for the objection. The detailed statement shall identify the specific portions of the proposal the offeror objects to disclosure to non-government advisors.
4.6.3.1.2 “I understand technical and price data submitted to the Government in response to this solicitation may be released to non-government advisors. I consent to release of any (unless objection is provided in 4.4.3.1.1 above) proprietary, confidential, or privileged commercial or financial data provided in response to this solicitation, to non-government advisors for review and analysis.”
4.5.3.2 The Contracting Officer shall evaluate any objection to disclosure and make a determination whether the non-government advisor(s) shall be permitted to participate in the source selection.

SAMPLE Subcontractor/Teaming Partner Consent Letter for the Release of Past Performance Information to the Prime Contractor Past performance information concerning subcontractors and teaming partners cannot be disclosed to a private party without the subcontractor’s or teaming partner’s consent. Because a prime contractor is a private party, the Government will need that consent before disclosing subcontractor/teaming partner past and present performance information to the prime contractor during exchanges. In an effort to assist the Government’s Past Performance evaluation team in assessing your recent past performance relevancy and confidence, we request that the following consent letter be completed by the major subcontractors/teaming partners identified in your proposal. The completed consent letters should be submitted as part of your Past Performance Volume.
