L.6.1 Volume III FACTOR 3: PRICE

L.6.1.1 The Offerors shall submit pricing in Section B for all priced CLINs, including all quantity ranges, when applicable. The proposed price for production CLINs shall be inclusive of all fabricating, testing, inspection, packaging and delivery of the solicited items. Failure to provide a price for any CLIN may result in the offer not being considered for award.

L.6.1.2 Delivery Orders will be issued in accordance with the procedures for future Delivery Orders as stated in Section H of the solicitation.

L.6.1.3 In accordance with FAR 45.202(a), the Government shall consider any potentially unfair competitive advantage that may result from an offeror using Government property. To eliminate the competitive advantage, a rental equivalent evaluation factor shall be added to each offer which is predicated on the use of Government property. Offerors shall propose the per unit value of Government property for each CLIN/quantity range in accordance with FAR 52.245-9, Use and Charges, in section L for submission instructions. Offerors shall provide detailed calculations demonstrating how the per-unit rental value was derived and also documentation supporting the rental charges in sufficient detail to permit verification of the rental charges and evaluation of the per unit rental value

L.6.1.4 Any HUBZone SB Concern shall provide proof of HUBZone certification with its proposal submission.

L.6.1.5 Unbalanced Pricing. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more line items is significantly over or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. The greatest risks associated with unbalanced pricing occur when (a) Startup work, mobilization, first articles, or first article testing are separate line items; (b) Base quantities and option quantities are separate line items; or (c) The evaluated price is the aggregate of estimated quantities to be ordered under separate line items of an indefinite-delivery contract. Offerors shall provide documentation, including data, calculations and supporting rationale, for any apparent unbalanced pricing which will be used to determine if the proposed prices are balanced.

L.7.1 Volume IV FACTOR 4: SMALL BUSINESS (SB) PARTICIPATION

L.7.1.1 The SB Participation Factor Volume is comprised of a single chapter. Offerors are responsible for including sufficient detail to permit a complete evaluation. Any information provided as part of the SB Participation Factor Volume may be used to correlate the evaluation of the other proposal volumes.

L.7.1.2 This provision applies to every Offeror (U.S. and non-U.S.), regardless of size status or locations of working facilities or headquarters. For proposal preparation purposes, the Offerors SB Participation proposals shall be consistent with any subcontracting references/identification contained elsewhere in any other Factor Volume. Percentages are calculated using proposed total contract price as calculated in accordance with D.4.3. This price becomes the denominator and includes first-tier subcontractors only. For the purpose of evaluating SB Participation, the total contract price is determined by adding the unit price for a single M88 Practice Mine Canister, and sub-assembly FAT costs from each ordering period at the max quantity range price, which is the estimated maximum number of assemblies to be purchased on this contract. Offerors shall also explain their rationale as to why the percentage of SB participation being utilized for this effort is appropriate for their company. Offerors shall describe their approach and efforts undertaken to utilize small businesses. SB targets will be incorporated into any resulting prime contract and contractors will be required to report

SB participation.

L.7.1.3 All Offerors, including Offerors who are themselves U.S. SB concerns based on the NAICS code assigned to this requirement, are to identify the extent to which U.S. SB concerns will be utilized as first- tier subcontractors in the performance of this proposed contract. U.S. SB concerns are defined (1) in FAR 19.001 and (2) by the criteria and size standards in FAR 19.102 for the applicable

NAICS code. U.S. SB concerns include SBs, Small Disadvantaged Businesses (SDBs), Woman-Owned Small Businesses (WOSBs), HUBZone Small

Businesses (HUBZone SBs), Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSBs), and Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs).

L.7.1.4 If the Offeror (to include any U.S. SB concerns who are proposing as part of a joint venture or teaming arrangement) is itself a

U.S. SB concern, the Offerors own participation as a SB, SDB, WOSB, HUBZone SB, VOSB, or SDVOSB will also be considered SB participation for the purpose of this evaluation. In this event, the extent of the Offeror participation as a U.S. SB concern shall be detailed in the same manner as subcontracts to first-tier U.S. SB concerns.

SB Amounts: All Offerors shall address anticipated U.S. SB concern participation and subcontracting based on the total contract dollars proposed by the Offeror.

L.7.1.5 The Offeror shall provide information for SB participation and subcontracting in a table format in accordance with the following example:

SB Participation Table (in Millions)

| Business Category | $ Cost All Contracts | % of SB Participation | Cost Total SubK |

| Contract Total Price | $47.62 | | |

| SB | $11.43 | 0.24 | $11.43 of $47.62 |

| SDB | $3.17 | 0.067 | $3.17 of $47.62 |

| 8(a) | $2.62 | 0.055 | $2.62 of $47.62 |

| WOSB | $1.71 | 0.036 | $1.71 of $47.62 |

| HUBZone SB | $1.19 | 0.025 | $1.19 of $47.62 |

| VOSB | $1.71 | 0.036 | $1.71 of $47.62 |

| SDVOSB | $1.62 | 0.034 | $1.62 of $47.62 |

L.7.1.6 Guidance for filling in the above "SB Participation" Table:

(a) Include first-tier subcontractors only. Note that members of a joint venture may be considered the Offeror or the first tier subcontractors, depending on the legal form of the joint venture as defined in its agreement document.

(b) If the Offeror is a U.S. SB concern, detail the extent of the Offeror participation as a U.S. SB concern in the same manner as subcontracts to first tier U.S. SB concerns.

(c) Percentages should be rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent.

L.7.1.7 Additional Guidance for particular Business Categories:

(a) For "Contract Total Price": Include the Offerors proposed Total Contract Price on this line.

(b) For SB: Include U.S. SB concerns from all categories (i.e. SB, SDB, WOSB, HUBZone SB, VOSB, and SDVOSB) and in the dollars and percentage on this line. The SDB, WOSB, HUBZone SB, VOSB and SDVOSB are subcategories of SB and the dollars in each of these may not add to match the total dollars in the SB line due to the following: In some cases the same dollars may be reported in more than one block

(i.e., a $10,000 subcontract to a Woman-Owned SB that is also a Service- Disabled Veteran-Owned SB should be entered on four rows:

$10,000 under SB, $10,000 under WOSB, $10,000 under VOSB and $10,000 under SDVOSB). Be sure that the dollars are counted in the SB line only once and not four times (e.g. $40,000 representing the same firm participating at

$10,000 in differing categories). Note that the SB percentage is not simply a total of the percentages of each SB subcategory and must be calculated separately as shown in the chart.

(c) For HUBZone SB: Include only "SBA certified" HUBZone SBs. Note that this is different from some of the state HUB certifications.

L.7.1.8 SB List: All Offerors shall provide the names and CAGE codes of SB concerns (including the Offeror if it is a SB concern) who would participate in accomplishing the proposed contract. The SB classification of each U.S. SB concern (i.e. SB, SDB, WOSB, HUBZone SB, VOSB and SDVOSB); a short description of the specific services to be provided by each SB concern; and the estimated total dollars for each service or product.

(a) This data shall be provided in a table format in…
