***This requirement contains drawings and parts lists that are designated as Distribution Statement D/Export Controlled. Distribution is authorized to the Department of Defense (DoD) and United States DoD contractors with a valid Joint Certification Program (JCP) certification. Only offerors with an active registration in JCP will be provided access to the technical specification drawings. In order to obtain access to the drawings, the offeror’s JCP Custodian shall email michelle.e.weigert.civ@us.navy.mil and attach a copy of the company’s DD2345. The request must be sent by the JCP Custodian; the drawings will not be provided to any other points of contact. Once JCP certification and JCP custodian are confirmed, the Drawings will be released.

The Government intends to award a purchase order resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable source selection process. Award will be made to the responsible Offeror meeting all requirements of the solicitation. In order to be considered technically acceptable, the Offeror must:

1- Be an authorized distributer of CIAO Wireless products and services 2- Fill out the above stepladder pricing tables.

TOTAL EVALUATED PRICE

The Government will calculate the total evaluated price as follows:

The Government will multiply the unit price by the maximum quantity for each range to derive the extended price for each range.

Next, the Government will add the extended prices for all ranges of each Option CLIN and divide by the sum of the maximum quantity of all ranges of that CLIN to find the average unit price.

The Government will multiply the average unit price by the maximum number of units of the highest range of the Option year to arrive at a total evaluated price for the Option year.

The following is an example:

Option Year 1 CLIN Description From

Quantity To Quantity

Unit Price Extended Price

0001 P/N 06793211

1 5 $100 $500

6 10 $90 $900 10 20 $80 $1,600 Total 35 $3,000

The total line item amount for CLIN 0001 is $3,000 Average unit price = $3,000/35 = $85.71

The Government will multiply the average unit price by the maximum quantity of 20 units to arrive at the Total Evaluated Price (TEP) for the contract to determine lowest price.

**NOTE: The above step ladder ranges and prices are EXAMPLES ONLY. This example does not obligate the Government to purchase these quantities; it is simply to demonstrate the method the Government will use to calculate the total evaluated price.
