Offerors shall provide a completed Price Matrix (Attachment 002). Firm unit prices shall be provided for all quantities, and quantity ranges. Proposed unit prices shall be limited to two (2) decimal places. The following instructions are for completion of the Price Matrix.

a) The Offeror is required to fill in all pink shaded boxes.

b) The Offeror shall enter its full name and Cage Code in the spaces provided.

c) The Offeror shall propose binding, firm-fixed prices per gallon, as applicable. Failure to do so may result in the offer being rejected.

d) The Offeror shall not make any changes or add any other information to the Price Matrix.

e) If an Offeror fails to propose prices for all quantity ranges and years the Government may reject that offer as unacceptable.

f) In the event of a discrepancy in unit prices between the electronic copy and hard copy of the Price Matrix, the prices contained in the electronic copy will prevail.

g) The Offeror shall provide any additional information considered necessary to explain the proposed prices.

Any significant inconsistency in the unit prices should be explained in the proposal. For example, if the use of new and innovative techniques has an impact on the proposed unit price, the offeror shall explain the impact on price. If an offeror made a management decision to absorb a portion of the program costs that have not been included in the proposed pricing, that decision should be stated and quantified in the proposal. Any significant inconsistency, if not explained, raises a fundamental issue of the offerors understanding of the nature and scope of the work required. The burden of proof as to price credibility rests with the offeror.

All electronic spreadsheets in support of the proposal shall: be in Microsoft Excel or a compatible format which contain working formulas and algorithms, be in the same format as the cost proposal, and calculate proposed prices. PDF files are not acceptable; they do not contain working formulas and algorithms.

The Total Evaluated Price is calculated as follows: The Evaluated Price for each Ordering Period is the sum of multiplying the maximum quantity within each range by the Price Per Gallon, multiplied by the respective weight (likelihood of an order in each quantity range). The Evaluated Price for each CLIN is the sum of the Evaluated Prices all Ordering Periods. The Total Evaluated Price is the sum of the Evaluated Prices for all CLINs. Award will be made to the offeror with the lowest Total Evaluated Price.

Price analysis will be used to determine price reasonableness. The Contracting Officer may use additional analysis techniques as determined necessary. These methods of evaluation may include the use of information/input from sources such as (but not limited to) other Government agencies and personnel.
