(a) Price will be considered. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award without discussion, but reserves the right to conduct discussions. The lowest priced quote will be evaluated first. Therefore, the vendor’s initial quote should contain the vendor’s best terms from a price standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. Quotes that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(b) Options: The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are mathematically and materially unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). As part of price evaluation, the government will evaluate its option to extend services (see FAR Clause 52.217-8) by adding one-half of the offeror's final option period prices to the offeror's total price.

As indicated in FAR 52.217-8 the government will have the option provision to extend the performance of the contract up to an additional 6 months when the contractor is provided written notice.
