In addition, failure to meet the quality requirements of a contract is a significant factor to consider in determining unsatisfactory performance. Offerors may be asked to clarify some issues regarding the aforementioned factors to enhance U.S. Government understanding. Such clarifications shall not be used to cure proposal deficiencies or material omissions, and/or otherwise revise the proposal.

Past Performance Evaluation Ratings - Rating Descriptions:

Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. A proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government. The U.S.
