a. Technical Exhibit C will serve as Price List for Unscheduled urgent work (CLINs 0007 and 0009 and relating option CLINs) required during the performance of base year and the two option years. The quoter shall provide pricing by filling in prices on the yellow cells of worksheet within Technical Exhibit C, entitled

“T&M”, which includes labor rates and a discount rate for spare parts for the base and the two option years.

Technical Exhibit C “T&M” will be made part of the contract.

b. In the spreadsheet, the Government has provided an estimated number of hours (within duty and outside duty hours). Quoters shall provide a labor rate for both categories in the column labeled "Labor Rate". The spreadsheet will automatically provide a total for labor.

c. In the spreadsheet, the Government has provided an estimated material cost for each CLIN. In the block entitled "Percentage Discount for Materials", put in the discount to be applied to parts from the price book.

Example: should you wish to provide a 15.5% discount to the price book for all parts. You would enter the number 15.5 in the block.

d. The Quoter shall ensure the “Grand Total” for each CLIN from Technical Exhibit C matches the CLIN pricing submitted with the solicitation.

e. For evaluation purpose, the sum of the prices indicated in the Technical Exhibit C - T&M Prices , will be added to the other CLINS to determine the lowest quotation.

a. SINGLE AWARD. The Government intends to make a single award; therefore, Quotes must be submitted for all the line items indicated in the solicitation. No award will be made for less than the full requirements shown in the solicitation. Any Quoter offering less than all of the solicitation requirements may be excluded from consideration for award if the Contracting Officer elects to make an award without opening discussions.

b. SUBMISSION OF QUOTES IN EUROS ONLY. Quotes submitted in response to this solicitation shall be in terms of EURO. Quotes received in other than EURO shall be rejected.

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2

A. This acquisition will be conducted in accordance with FAR Part 12 Acquisition of Commercial Items, FAR

13.5 Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items and as supplemented by agency.

Award will be made to the lowest priced quote that is compliant with the requirements of this solicitation and

FAR subpart 9.104.

B. EVALUATION APPROACH: the evaluation will be price only.

1. FACTOR I – PRICE

a. The price evaluation will consist of an overall price analysis, which compares the CLIN prices for each performance period for fairness, reasonableness, and balance. Price analysis is the process of examining and evaluating a quoted price to determine if it is fair and reasonable, without evaluating its separate cost elements and profit. Should the Government determine proposed prices are unrealistically low (an indication of “buy-in”), this will be considered a performance risk and may be deemed ineligible for contract award. The

Contracting Officer may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to ensure a fair and reasonable price.

b. Only quoters whose quote is compliant with Addendum to 52.212-1 paragraph B1, Volume I Mandatory documentation, and who are therefore eligible for award, will be evaluated for price. The quoter whose quote is determined to be compliant and also contains the lowest price will be awarded the contract for this solicitation. Only a responsible quote in accordance with FAR 9.104 will be eligible for award.

c. The Contracting Officer will evaluate quotes by totaling the prices for all CLINs for the base and option years.

The Government may reject a quote that is determined to be unbalanced. 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 quote may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the

Government.

d. As part of price evaluation, the Government will evaluate its Option to Extend Services (see FAR Clause

52.217- 8) by adding six (6) months of the quoter's final option period price to the offeror's total price. An assessment of the reasonableness of each quoted price will be made. The Contracting Officer will perform a price analysis of each quote. Quoters are required to price the Base and Option Periods. Quoters shall not submit a price for the potential six (6) month extension of services period. The Government may choose to exercise the extension of services at the end of any performance period (base or option periods).
