Compliance with these instructions is mandatory and failure to comply may result in rejection of the proposal. Data or information submitted in the Price Volume shall be information essential to document or support the price position. Data beyond what is required by this instruction shall not be submitted unless the Offeror considers it essential to document or support its price position.

2. No pricing data or information shall be included in any other volume, including cover letters, unless specifically requested by the Government in the respective volume. If price information is included elsewhere in the documentation, the proposal may be deemed unacceptable and the proposal may not be evaluated. The Offeror shall comply with the intent of the pricing instructions in supplying information that is current, timely, and in full support of the proposal.

3. Pricing Data Requirements. The CO has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition.

This Pricing Matrix will calculate the total proposed price for the Base and each Option Year based on offeror inputs, and totals by year will appear in row 18.

A six (6) month Extension of Services (EOS) will be calculated in column G as outlined in Addendum 2 to the solicitation (Evaluation Factors).

The Total Evaluated Price (TEP) that the Government will use in its evaluation of the offer will be calculated based on the sum of the totals of the Base Year, all Option Years, and the calculated EOS. The TEP will appear in cell I19.

CLINs xx10 are a Time and Materials contract type. Offerors should provide their anticipated costs for these CLINs in the spreadsheet, however, these CLINs will not factor into the Total Evaluated Price.

Only green highlighted cells are unlocked for data entry by the offeror. No rows, columns, or cells may be added or deleted.

Note: The calculation of the EOS is for evaluation purposes only and is not 1) an indicator of the anticipated pricing or timing of any exercise of the clause at FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, or 2) an indicator as to whether the Government will choose to exercise that clause during the performance of any contract awarded based on this solicitation. Refer to the language of the clause at FAR 52.217-8 for full details regarding this option.

Evaluation Factors for Award

Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified to:

EVALUATION FACTORS

1. The Government will use procedures described in FAR 12.602, Streamlined Evaluation of Offers, as well as FAR 15.300 and DFARS 215.300, Source Selection, to evaluate offers submitted in response to the solicitation. The Government will award to the responsible offeror with the lowest total evaluated price (TEP) among those that are found technically acceptable. The Government reserves the right to award no contract at all depending upon the quality of offers received and whether proposed prices are determined to be fair and reasonable. The factors that will be used to evaluate proposals are as follows and as expounded below: Technical Acceptability and Price.

(a) The evaluation does not permit tradeoffs between price and non-price factors. The contract will be awarded to the offeror:

(i) That is deemed responsible in accordance with FAR Part 9.1, Responsible Prospective Contractors, as supplemented;

(ii) That has submitted a proposal that conforms to the solicitation's requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by the Instructions to Offerors (ITO) of this solicitation);

(iii) Receives a rating of "Acceptable" on the Technical Acceptability evaluation factor;

AND

(iv) That has been determined, based on the evaluation factors and sub-factors, to represent the proposal with the lowest TEP, provided that the TEP is not significantly unbalanced and does not contain otherwise unbalanced pricing that poses an unacceptable risk to the Government and is determined to be fair and reasonable. While the Government will strive for maximum objectivity, the source selection process, by its nature, is subjective.

Therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire process.

(b) Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as factors or sub-factors. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in the offeror being ineligible for award. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and must provide complete supporting rationale. The Government reserves the right to determine any such exceptions unacceptable and the proposal, therefore, ineligible for award.

(c) The Government will initiate concurrent Technical Acceptability evaluations on all proposals. Throughout the evaluation of Technical Acceptability, the Government will consider "correction potential" of a proposal, including whether any proposal deficiencies may be rectified. The judgment of such "correction potential" is within the sole discretion of the Government. If an aspect of an offeror's proposal does not meet the Government's technical requirements in full and is not considered correctable, the offeror may be eliminated from the competition.

(d) During the evaluation period for Technical Acceptability, if it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government to hold discussions, offeror responses to Evaluation Notices (ENs) and the Final Proposal Revision (FPR) will be considered in making the source selection decision. If the offeror's proposal has been evaluated as 'Acceptable' at the time discussions are closed, any changes or exceptions in the FPR are subject to evaluation and may introduce risk that the offeror's proposal be determined 'Unacceptable' and ineligible for award.

(e) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the timeframe for acceptance specified in the proposal, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the proposal's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer regardless if there are negotiations after that offer's receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

EVALUATION FACTORS

The Government's technical evaluation team shall evaluate the technical proposals on a pass/fail basis, FACTOR I - Technical Acceptability:

assigning one of the ratings described in the table below for each sub-factor. Any sub-factor evaluated as 'Unacceptable' will render the entire proposal unacceptable, and therefore ineligible for award. Only those proposals determined to be technically acceptable, either initially or as a result of discussions, will be considered for award. However, offerors are cautioned that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussions.

Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Proposals shall be evaluated against the following technical sub-factors:

Sub-factor 1- Transition Planning Description: This sub-factor will assess the offeror's Transition Plan, to include staffing, management, equipment, supplies, and security considerations.

This sub-factor is met when the offeror's proposed Transition Plan demonstrates a sound approach for transitioning the services Measure of Merit:

from the incumbent contractor, while maintaining continuity of all contracted services throughout the Transition Period.

Sub-factor 2: Staffing Approach This sub-factor will assess the offeror's overall approach to manning each functional area of the PWS.Description:

This sub-factor is met when:Measure of Merit:

a) The offeror's organizational chart reflects a sound manning approach to properly staff, manage, and maintain all the PWS requirements, and the organizational chart demonstrates a complete understanding of each functional area of the PWS.

b) The narrative demonstrates a complete understanding of the positions and qualifications necessary to execute each functional area of the PWS.

Sub-factor 3: Prior Experience:

This sub-factor will evaluate whether an offeror and proposed subcontractors, if applicable, have current or recent prior experience in Description:

performing services that are comparable in scope and magnitude and magnitude to the services described in the PWS.

This factor is met when:Measure of Merit:

a) Offeror demonstrates that it has current or recent (within five years of the date of this solicitation release) experience in performing services that are comparable in scope and magnitude to the services described in the PWS.

If the offeror is proposing a subcontractor/partnership agreement, the offeror shall demonstrate that services are currently being performed by some combination of the offeror and subcontractor(s) as prime contractors or subcontractors on current Government contracts that are in scope and similar magnitude to the services described in the PWS.

Price proposals will be evaluated for (1) completeness, (2) unbalanced pricing, (3) reasonableness, and (4) Total Evaluated FACTOR II - Price:

Price (TEP). Offerors whose price is determined to be incomplete, significantly unbalanced or contains otherwise unbalanced pricing that poses an unacceptable risk to the Government, or whose price is unreasonable will not be considered for award.

The Government will review the pricing submissions for completeness and compliance with:Completeness:

a) FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Items; and

b) Addendum 1 - Additional Instructions to Offerors.

The Government will analyze each proposal to determine whether it is unbalanced with respect to prices proposed on different Unbalanced Pricing:

Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) for the same or similar services and/or supplies in the same or similar quantities and with respect to option pricing. An offer may be rejected if the Contracting Officer (CO) determines that the prices are significantly unbalanced or that otherwise unbalanced pricing poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

The offeror's Price proposal will be evaluated using one or more of the techniques defined in FAR 15.404, Proposal Analysis, in Reasonableness:

order to determine if it is reasonable. For a price to be reasonable, it must represent a price to the Government that a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive business. Normally, price reasonableness is established through price analysis techniques as described in FAR 15.404-1(b), Price analysis for commercial and non-commercial items. For additional information, reference FAR 31.201-3, Determining Reasonableness.

The Government will add the total price for all options, excluding CLINs xx10, to the total price for the basic Total Evaluated Price (TEP):

requirement to arrive at the TEP. The TEP will be calculated as follows:

a) The sum of the extended prices (unit quantity multiplied by unit price) for CLINs 0001 through 4011, excluding CLINs xx10, for the Base period and option periods I through IV; and

b) To account for the maximum six (6) month extension possible under the clause at FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, the Government will use the sum of the proposed prices of the final option period (CLINs 4001 through 4011, excluding CLINs xx10), prorate it to a six (6) month value, and add that amount to the sum of all CLINs (Base performance period and option periods I through IV). Please note that this calculation is used for evaluation purposes only. After award, the Government reserves the right to exercise the Option to Extend Services at any time allowed by 52.217-8, and at the price allowed by 52.217-8.

The resulting amount will be the TEP. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise any option(s).
