The Department of Defense (DoD) Preferred Methods for this Acceptance of Product, MIL-STD-1916, shall be used for this procurement action. All references to MIL-STD-105, MIL-STD-414, MIL-STD-1235, and ANSI Z1.4 appearing in the Technical Data Package (TDP) are replaced by MIL-STD-1916. Verification Levels (VL) shall replace AQLs and shall be VL IV for major characteristics and VL II for minor characteristics.

23. Evaluation of Offers.

The Government will evaluate offers based on the Total Evaluated Price from the Copper Washer (155mm) - Price Matrix. The Total Evaluated Price is the sum of the Weighted Evaluation Price from each of the five Ordering Periods.

The Weighted Evaluation Price for each Ordering Period is calculated by multiplying the proposed unit prices for each range by their respective weight and maximum quantity, and then summing their totals. The weight associated with each range represents the likelihood that an order, if placed, would be placed within that range. There are three quantity ranges for each of the five Ordering Periods.

If an offeror fails to propose unit prices for all quantity ranges and ordering periods, the Government may reject that offer as unacceptable.

Price Analysis shall be used to determine price reasonableness. Additional analysis techniques may be used as determined necessary by the procuring contracting officer. These methods of evaluation may include the use of information/input from sources such as (but not limited to) other Government agencies and personnel.

As part of the evaluation, proposals may be reviewed to identify any significant unbalanced pricing found between quantity ranges. In accordance with FAR 15.404-1(g), i.e., Unbalanced Pricing, a proposal may be rejected if the contracting officer determines the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.
