Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

(5) The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit cost or prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the proposal.

(6) The Government reserves the right to make multiple awards if, after considering the additional administrative costs, it is in the Government’s best interest to do so.

(7) Exchanges with offerors after receipt of a proposal do not constitute a rejection or counteroffer by the Government.

(8) The Government may determine that a proposal is unacceptable if the prices proposed are materially unbalanced between line items or subline items.

Document: C201-SAT-Tradeoff/November 2023 (The Solicitation) https://www.acquisition.gov/far/15.306#FAR_15_306

Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more line items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. A proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

(9) If a cost realism analysis is performed, cost realism may be considered by the source selection authority in evaluating performance or schedule risk.

(10) A written award or acceptance of proposal mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time specified in the proposal shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

(11) If a post-award debriefing is given to requesting offerors, the Government shall disclose the following information, if applicable:

(i) The agency’s evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed offeror’s offer.

(ii) The overall evaluated cost or price and technical rating of the successful and the debriefed offeror and past performance information on the debriefed offeror.

(iii) The overall ranking of all offerors, when any ranking was developed by the agency during source selection.

(iv) A summary of the rationale for award.

(v) For acquisitions of commercial products, the make and model of the product to be delivered by the successful offeror.

(vi) Reasonable responses to relevant questions posed by the debriefed offeror as to whether source selection procedures set forth in the solicitation, applicable regulations, and other applicable authorities were followed by the agency.

V.C. Additional Clauses

N/A

VI. Method of Award

VI.A. Evaluation of Offers

(1) The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror(s) whose proposal(s) conforming to the Solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, Price and other factors considered.

(2) The Government may reject any or all proposals if such action is in the Government’s interest.

(3) The Government may waive informalities and minor irregularities in proposals received.

Document: C201-SAT-Tradeoff/November 2023 (The Solicitation) https://www.acquisition.gov/gsam/part-507#GSAM_507_103 https://www.acquisition.gov/gsam/part-504#GSAM_Subpart_504_4

(4) The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions with one or a combination of some or all of the offerors, if the Government, in its sole discretion, determines that discussions are in the Government’s best interest.

(5) Exchanges with offerors after receipt of a proposal do not constitute a rejection or counteroffer by the Government

(6) If multiple line items are priced, each line item will be evaluated to ensure that balanced pricing exists. If the line items are determined to be unbalanced the Government will allow that offeror the opportunity to balance the line items prior to award. If the offeror cannot, or chooses not to, balance the line items, the Government shall deem the offeror’s proposal as unacceptable.

(7) A written award or acceptance of proposal mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time specified in the proposal shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

(8) Unsuccessful offerors will be notified in accordance with FAR 13.106-3(c).

(9) In addition Price, the following non-price factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

(a) Past Performance

(10) Non-Price Factors, when combined, are significantly more important than Price.

VI.B. Price Reasonableness

The proposed prices will be evaluated for reasonableness. Price reasonableness determines whether an Offeror’s price is too high. Analysis of price proposals will be performed using one or more of the techniques defined in FAR 15.404 in order to determine price reasonableness. Normally, price reasonableness is established through adequate price competition, but may also be determined through price analysis techniques as described in FAR 15.404-1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this solicitation and for the avoidance of doubt, the Government will not perform a price realism analysis of the Offeror’s proposal.

VI.C. Non-Price Factors

(1) Past Performance

(a) Past performance will be evaluated as a predictor of the Offeror’s compliance with contract requirements and overall quality of performance.

Document: C201-SAT-Tradeoff/November 2023

(b) Past performance will be evaluated on the basis of information received by the Contracting Officer concerning the Offeror's performance on other contracts, including information not submitted by the Offeror. If the Contracting Officer becomes aware of required past performance information omitted from the Offeror's proposal, the Contracting Officer may draw a negative inference from the omission of such information.
