AMENDMENT 03

The purpose of this amendment is to make the following changes:

1. Sections M.2.5 Factor 5 – Price; M.2.6 Price Realism and M.2.7 Evaluation of Price are deleted in its entirety and are replaced with the following:

M.2.5 Factor 5 – Price

When evaluating the price proposal, a determination shall be made as to the reasonableness and the completeness of the proposal inclusive of the Section B Pricing Schedule; Sample Task Order for O&M and Sample Task Order for DM&E.

Pricing for Sample Task Order 1- O&M and Sample Task Order 2 – DM&E will be combined for the total evaluated price for evaluation purposes only.

Pricing for Section B: In order to determine fairness and reasonableness of the prices for the labor categories identified in Section B of the Solicitation for the Labor Hour efforts, the government will compare the offerors supporting documentation received in the pricing proposal in accordance with paragraph L.7.4 to industry standards or other Government Wide Acquisition Contracts.

Pricing for Sample Task Order 1 – O&M will be evaluated for reasonableness and realism of the proposed price for the Firm Fixed Price effort by assessing the compatibility of the proposed price in accordance with Section L.7.5 Volume 2 Sample Task Order 1 – O&M. For the price to be realistic, it must reflect the offeror’s performance of the work with reasonable economy and efficiency. The price realism evaluation includes a review of the sample Task Order price in the offeror's proposal to determine:

• If price is realistic for the work proposed; and

• If price reflect a clear understanding of the requirements.

• Price will not receive an adjectival rating.

Pricing for Sample Task Order 2 – DM&E will be evaluated for reasonableness and completeness.

Pricing for ODCs will be considered in the evaluation of Price.
