The Government intends to award a single Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract.

2. The Government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective offerors. The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.

3. Award shall be made to a single contractor. Award will be made to the lowest priced technically acceptable, responsible offeror that meets the requirements of the PWS and this solicitation.

4. PRICE:

a. Proposals shall include prices for each line item listed and a total price, in order that proposals may be properly evaluated. Offers shall also include the completed SF 1449 and any amendments as well as the Certificate for Insurance.

b. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all Contract Line Item Numbers (CLIN) (base period and option periods) for the total evaluated price. In the event there is a difference between a unit price and the total CLIN amount, the unit price will be held as the intended price multiplied by the number of units. If the offeror shows only the total amount but fails to submit a unit price, the total CLIN amount divided by the quantity will be held as the intended price. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

c. As part of price evaluation, the Government will evaluate its option to extend services (see FAR Clause 52.217-8) by adding two (2) months of the offeror's final option period price to the offeror's total price.

The Government may choose to exercise the Extension of Services at the end of any performance period (base or option periods), utilizing the rates of that performance period.

d. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, one or more contract line items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. A proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

5. The Past Performance Retrieval System and Federal Awardee Performance & Integrity Information Systems as well any other Government-sponsored information available may be utilized to help make a responsibility determinationn in accordance with FAR Subpart 9.104.

6. Failure to provide the requested information may deem the offeror unacceptable/ineligible for award.

7. The Government will begin the evaluation process with a ranking based on the Total Evaluated Price from the lowest to highest price. Following the price ranking, only the lowest priced offeror(s) will be evaluated for technical acceptability under the non-price factor(s) according to the evaluation criteria set forth in this section. If acceptable, the evaluation will stop at that point and award will made to the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror. If unacceptable, the Government will continue to review proposals in order of price until evaluating one that is technically acceptable and eligible for award. The Government reserves the right to conduct additional technical evaluations as deemed necessary.

8. Funds are not presently available for this acquisition. No contract award will be made until appropriated funds are made available.
