RFO FAR 52.217-8: “Evaluations of Options"

For purposes of award of this Contract, the Government intends to evaluate the option to extend services under FAR 52.217-8 as follows: The evaluation will consider the possibility that the option can be exercised at any time and can be exercised in increments of one to six months, but not for more than a total of six months during the life of the contract. The evaluation will assume that the prices for any option exercised under FAR 52.217-8 will be those rates in effect under the contract each time an option is exercised under this clause. The evaluation will therefore assume that the addition of the price or prices of any possible extension or extensions under FAR 52.217-8 to the total price for the basic requirement and the total price for the priced options has the same effect on the total price of all proposals relative to each other, and will not affect the ranking of proposals based on price, unless, after reviewing the proposals, the Government determines that there is a basis for finding otherwise. This evaluation will not obligate the Government to exercise any option under FAR 52.217-8.

Additional information pertaining to Comparative Evaluation below:

What Comparative Evaluation is:

• It is the direct comparison of one quotation/offer with another in a uniform and fair manner to determine which quote/offer provides the

Government with what it needs, where and when as identified in the

RFQ

• It is an assessment of which response is the “best” as a whole

• Once one quotation/offer is found acceptable, it is compared side by side to the remaining ones, and the “best” one is chosen

What Comparative Evaluation is not:

• It does not individually evaluate quote/offers against specified evaluation factors

• It does not assign a rating using a color, numerical, or other rating methodology

• It does not require additional evaluation to determine if minimal advantage is worth a minimal or normal price difference, but not prohibited

• It is not a low price technically acceptable (LPTA) or trade-off process
