(b) Contract number (if such a designation exists);

(c) A narrative explaining the requirement and how it is relevant to the requirements of this solicitation;

(1) A statement that all work performed under the contract shall be performed exclusively by the offeror, or

(2) A list of proposed subcontractors, joint ventures, or other business partners that will provide work under the contract.

For purposes of this Risk assessment, the Government will only consider information contained in the SPRS. Any questions or concerns the offeror has concerning its SPRS risk assessment should be addressed as described in paragraph (d) of the provision.

Not having any records in SPRS will not cause an offeror to be ineligible for award.

See https://www.sprs.csd.disa.mil/reference.htm for an explanation of the color score).

RATING DESCRIPTION:

The rating will be based on an "Acceptable or Unacceptable" basis. The following definitions will be used to assign the rating:

Acceptable: Offeror has a Supplier Risk Score of Green, Purple, Blue, or Black.

The technical factor is met when the Offeror’s proposal clearly demonstrates evidence of meeting the five subfactors above.

Factor 2: Price

a. The total evaluated price shall be the sum of all CLIN prices listed in the schedule for the base year and all option years.

b. Currency: Offers submitted in response to this solicitation shall be in terms of local currency or U.S.

Dollars. If the Government receives offers in more than one currency, the Government shall use the daily exchange rate of the solicitation closing date to convert local currency offers into U.S. Dollar for evaluation purposes. Evaluation of foreign currency offers will be in accordance with FAR clause 52.225-17. All supporting documentation shall reflect the same currency established in the price proposal. If all offers are received in the local currency, the local currency proposed, and the Government budget rate will be utilized for evaluation purposes.

c. Each offeror’s proposed price will be evaluated to determine whether it is fair and reasonable as per FAR 15.404-1. Normally, adequate price competition establishes a fair and reasonable price. The Government WILL NOT evaluate proposed prices for realism.

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. To account for the option period(s) possible under Clause 52.217-8 (maximum six months), Option to Extend Services, the Government will take the price for all CLINS of the final option period, prorate it to a six-month value, and add it to the sum of all CLINS (base plus all option periods). This amount will be the total evaluated price. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
