Total Evaluated Price (TEP)

The Government intends to award a single contract as a result of this RFQ. Award will be made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis.

The Government will derive the offeror’s total evaluated price by extending the offeror’s quoted unit pricing in accordance with the schedule identified below.

1) The Government will calculate the total evaluated price of Ordering Year 1 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 the ordering year and divide by the sum of the maximum quantity of all ranges to find the average unit price.

• The Government will multiply the average unit price by 350 to arrive at a total evaluated price for the ordering year.

The following is an example:

Ordering Year 1

CLIN Description From Quantity To Quantity Unit Price Extended Price

0001 Widgets 4 10 $6,000 $60,000

11 20 $5,000 $100,000 21 35 $4,000 $140,000

Total 65 $300,000

The total line item amount is $300,000.00.

Average unit price = $300,000/65 = $4,615.38 Total evaluated price for Ordering Year 1 = $4,615.38 * 350 = $1,615,380.30

2)The Government will repeat the above for each of the remaining Ordering Years 2-5.

3) The Government will add the evaluated price of each ordering year 1-5, as calculated above, to determine the total evaluated price of the offeror.

**NOTE: The above 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.

Additionally, the Government will consider past performance information where negative information within Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) may render a quote being deemed technically unacceptable.
