SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

BASIS FOR AWARD

1. The Government will evaluate bids based on unit prices proposed for the Base, Option Periods, and FAT costs.

2. For Base CLINs, the Government will calculate the Evaluated CLIN price by multiplying the proposed unit price by Base Quantities plus FAT cost.

3. For each Option period, the Government will calculate a weighted evaluation unit price by multiplying the proposed unit prices for each range and Option period by its respective weight and maximum quantity, and summing its totals. The weight associated with each range represents the likelihood that Option, if exercised, would be issued within that range plus FAT(s) cost. The Evaluated CLIN price for each Option is the sum of the weighted evaluateion unit price plus FAT cost.

4. The Grand Total Evaluated Price (CLIN 0001 through CLIN 0010) is the sum of the Evaluated CLIN Price for all CLINs. The Grand

Total Evaluated Price shall be the Governments final determination on the lowest price in the final determination of the winning bid.

5. If a bidder fails to submit a unit price for all quantity ranges for the Option Periods for all CLINs and/or FAT, its bid will be considered unacceptable and the Government will reject the bid.

6. The Government shall not accept any additional prices submitted under Section B. All submitted prices shall be reflected in the

FAT or reflected within each quantity range within each Option Period. If a bidder submits any additional prices outside the FAT or quantity ranges, the bid will be considered unacceptable and the Government will reject the bid.

7. Price analysis shall be used to determine price reasonableness. The Government reserves the right to require the submission of additional data necessary to validate the reasonableness of the bid.

8. The Price Analysis shall consider whether bids are materially unbalanced. In accordance with FAR 15.404-1(g), Unbalanced Pricing may increase performance risk and could result in payment of unreasonably high prices. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items, is significantly over or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. An offer may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

9. The date/time for receipt of bids is established as 12:00 p.m. EDT on 19 December 2019. Bids shall be submitted by electronic ___________________________________ mail (emailed) to Mr. Sean Doyle at sean.a.doyle4.civ@mail.mil. Faxed bids and hand delivered bids will not be accepted.

10. Bid Opening shall commence at 02:00 p.m. EDT on 20 December 2019. Due to security protocol at Picatinny Arsenal, the Government __________________________________ shall provide teleconference number and passcode prior to bid opening. The Government plans to conduct a teleconference with all offerors during the bid opening. Please contact Contract Specialist, Mr. Sean Doyle, 24 hours prior to Bid Opening to receive a teleconference number and passcode. Teleconference bid opening attendance is not required.
