Section M- Evaluation Factors for Award

52.217-5 Evaluation of Options (July 1990)

Except when it is determined in accordance with FAR 17.206(b) not to be in the Government's best interests, the Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

M-003 BASIS FOR AWARD

The Government will make award to the responsible offeror(s) whose offer conforms to the requirements of the solicitation and is evaluated as being the most advantageous to the Government, cost or price and other factors considered. For this solicitation, technical merit is more important than cost or price. Award will not be auto- matically determined by numerical calculation or formula relationship between cost or price and technical mer- it. As technical merit of the offerors' proposals becomes more equal, the evaluated cost or price may become the determining factor. The Contracting Officer shall determine what trade-off between technical merit and cost or price promises the greatest value to the Government, cost or price and other factors considered.

The line items in SECTION B of this solicitation will be awarded on an aggregate basis for all solicitation items. Only one award will result from this solicitation. Proposals that do not offer all of the line items spe- cified in SECTION B will not be eligible for award.
