The total evaluated price will include all unit prices for the base and any options as identified in the CLIN Schedule. Offerors must submit pricing for all line items. If a zero is proposed as cost of a line item, it should be clearly identified on the CLIN schedule by stating “$0.00” as applicable.
All Unit Prices and Net Amounts on Attachment 1 must be rounded to the nearest whole dollar.
All documents shall be submitted together in one ‘pdf’ format and searchable file. Submit the filename in PIEE following this naming scheme: “Bid.W9123625B2008_Bidder Name.”
6. EVIDENCE OF AUTHORITY TO SIGN BID
Evidence of the authority of individuals signing bids to submit firm bids on behalf of the bidder is required except where the bid is signed and shows that it is so signed by the President, Vice-President, or Secretary of an incorporated bidder, a partner in the case of a partnership or the owner in the case of a sole proprietorship. Failure to submit with the bid satisfactory evidence of the authority of all other persons may be cause for rejection of the bid as invalid or nonresponsive.
7. AGENTS
Bids signed by an Agent shall be accompanied by evidence of said Agent’s authority to act on behalf of its Principal.
8. ELECTRONIC BID OPENING
There will be a “public” bid opening conducted by the Government via teleconference for participating bidders on 16 July 2025 at 10AM ET. A teleconference phone number and access code will be emailed to participants once bid submission due date and time has lapsed. Bidders will be able to participate in the reading of the bids through this teleconference.

Upon request, the Norfolk District will make the opened bids available for examination.
The apparent low bidder will be announced at bid opening. The apparent low bidder will next be directed to follow the instructions below in Section 11 regarding submission of Responsibility Information.
9. MISTAKES IN BID
In case of discrepancies between the unit price and the extended total, unit price will be held to the intended bid and the total of the CLIN will be recalculated by multiplying the proposed unit price by the estimated quantity. If there is a discrepancy between the unit pricing and the total pricing, the Government will recalculate the total CLIN pricing by 1) rounding the unit price to the two decimal points and multiplying by the corresponding unit; 2) by recalculating the total price by adding the recalculated CLIN totals.
All other mistakes in bid will be handled in accordance with FAR Part 14.
10. UNBALANCED BIDS
Any bid that is materially unbalanced as to prices for the Contract Line-Item Schedule (as defined in FAR 14.408) may be rejected as non-responsive or otherwise not considered for award. An unbalanced bid is one which is based on prices significantly less than cost for some work and prices which are significantly overstated for other work.

17. Army Contract Writing System (ACWS) Transition Information for Offerors
a. The Department of the Army is in the process of deploying a new contract writing software application to Army contracting offices worldwide. Known as the Army Contract Writing System (ACWS), this modern software application will replace legacy Army contract writing systems.
b. During this transition period, Offerors are hereby advised:
1. The Contracting Office may use any combination of contract writing systems to create and release documents related to this solicitation (i.e., solicitation amendments and awards, if any). As a result:
i. Solicitation may contain different offer submission instructions than other solicitations released by the same Contracting Office (i.e., requiring offer submission via the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) Solicitation Module versus e-mail). Offerors should review all offer submission instructions contained in the solicitation documents and direct any questions or concerns to the designated point of contact contained in the solicitation.
ii. If ACWS is deployed prior to contract award, documents received from the Contracting Officer or view on the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) or other forums may appear noticeably different than the initial solicitation or previous solicitations or awards from the same Contracting Office. This is normal and expected.
iii. A change between contract writing systems may cause important information concerning solicitation response (amendments) or accepted terms (awards) to take on different formatting or appear in different parts of later documents issued. Offerors shall review all documents carefully to locate this important information and direct any questions or concerns to the designated point of contact contained in the solicitation.
2. The Government does not intend to use the transition between contract writing systems to effect any changes to solicitation or award terms and conditions without accompanying document narratives explicitly stating such changes are deliberate and desired. While the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer will take care to minimize or eliminate any inadvertent changes when adapting to the new contract writing software, the Offeror, maybe the first to identify such errors. Therefore, Offerors shall:
i. Notify the designated point of contact contained in the solicitation immediately if any observed changes, removals, or additions that would affect award eligibility, violate, or alter existing quote/ proposal terms, or could affect Contract performance post-award.
ii. Take special care to ensure all fill-in Clauses are populated and remain populated across documents received from the Contracting Office throughout the solicitation and award process.
iii. Notify the designated point of contact contained in the solicitation for guidance if any inadvertent change is noticed or suspected between document issuances.
3. In the unlikely event that a network disruption, contract writing system error, or financial system error threatens timely award of the requirement set forth in this solicitation, the Contracting Officer:
i. May elect to use alternative mechanisms to obligate funds and allow work or deliveries to legally begin to the benefit of, and with legal protection for, both parties.
ii. Will incorporate the latest version of this Solicitation into such mechanisms to serve as a framework for contract execution until any such system problems are resolved.
iii. Will ensure any action taken does not conflict with the stated offer evaluation and award methodology of this requirement.
iv. Will issue a complete, properly formatted award that accurately reflects this requirement and all applicable terms and conditions once systems return to normal.
4. After contract award, the Contracting Officer will correct problems affecting award documents (if any) via bilateral modification, at no cost to the Contractor. Any such modification will reconcile the award with the latest version of this solicitation reflecting deliberate action by the Contracting Officer (i.e., the first issuance if no amendments, or the latest amendment with accompanying narratives), inclusive of any documented pre-award negotiations or accepted supplemental offer terms.
