8. FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation -- Commercial Items, does not apply to this acquisition.

Quoters are encouraged to submit multiple quotes presenting alternative terms and conditions or commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each quote submitted will be evaluated separately.

a. Government anticipates awarding a Firm-Fixed-Price, Requirements Contract to the responsible quoter whose quote will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. Basis of award is lowest price that meets performance and management objectives.

b. Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. To account for the option period(s) possible under FAR 52.217-8 -- Option to Extend Services, the Government will take the price for all CLINs of the final option period, prorate it to a six-month value, and add it to the sum of all CLINs (base plus all option periods). This amount will be the total evaluated price. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the options.

c. Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract without discussions. Therefore, the initial quote should contain the best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary.
