The Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any and all sources, including sources outside of the Government.

In the case of Offerors without a record of past performance, or for whom information on past performance is not available so that no past performance rating can be assigned, the Offerors may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)).

Therefore, the Offerors without a record of past performance, or for whom information on past performance is not available they will be determined to have a neutral past performance.

Factor 3 - Price.

Price will be evaluated on the total price, base and all options, being determined to be fair and reasonable.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

Before the offer's specified expiration time, the
