(b) Relative Important and Trade-offs. The Government will base the determination of best value on a comparative assessment of the quoters' prices, past performance, and the other evaluation factors identified elsewhere in this solicitation. The determination of best value also considers the relative importance of the evaluation factors. All evaluation factors, when combined, are:

[ ] significantly more important than cost or price.

As other evaluation factors become more equal, the evaluated cost or price becomes more important.

[X] approximately equal to cost or price; or [ ] significantly less important than cost or price.

As the evaluated cost/price becomes more equal, relative importance of all other evaluation factors becomes more significant.

(e) Past Performance Evaluation Factors. The Government will use the past performance evaluation factors marked below in addition to cost or price and other evaluation factors specified in the solicitation. Unless indicated otherwise, past performance is significantly more important than other non-price factors. Within the past performance subfactors, SPRS assessments (as applicable) will be weighed most heavily. Historical quality history and delivery schedule compliance (not captured in SPRS) will be weighed more heavily than the remaining past performance subfactors. All other non-price evaluation factors specified in this solicitation weigh equally, unless otherwise indicated.

(2) If there is a separate FAT CLIN, the offeror shall include all costs and risk associated with completion of the FAT requirement in the FAT CLIN price.

The unit of issue for the FAT CLIN, EACH, is equal to one First Article Test (1EA=1FAT).

However, for an offeror to be eligible for award, the contracting officer must determine that the FAT CLIN price (unless FAT is waived) and the production CLIN price are fair and reasonable; and, if set-aside under FAR Part 19, a fair market price. The offeror shall not propose a FAT CLIN price that is materially unbalanced in relation to the production CLIN price. In the event an offeror receives a waiver of the FAT requirement, the contracting officer will deduct the FAT CLIN price for the waived source in determining the total award price.

(4)(a) Notwithstanding the conditions for waiving first article, the contracting officer may order an additional first article sample, or portion thereof, in writing if there is a --

(i) Major change to the technical data;

(ii) Lapse in production for a period in excess of 90 days; or

(iii) Change in the place of performance (manufacturing facility), manufacturing process,material used, drawing, specification or source of supply.

(b) When conditions in paragraphs (4)(a)(i), (ii), or (iii) occur, the contractor shall notify the contracting officer; who will determine whether to order an additional first article sample or portion thereof and provide instructions concerning the submission, inspection, and notification of results. The contractor shall bear the costs of the additional first article testing resulting from any of the causes in paragraphs (4)(a)(i)-(iii) instituted by the contractor and not due to changes directed by the Government.

(5) Waivers. The offeror may submit a request for FAT waiver to the contracting officer, who may waive the FAT requirement when all of the following criteria apply:

(a) The offeror requesting waiver has successfully manufactured, delivered and the government accepted the item or a similar item. The offeror shall provide the following information and be prepared to provide documentary evidence upon the contracting officer's request:
