All proposals received will be evaluated for technical acceptability.

For evaluation purposes only, the total evaluated price is the sum of the total prices submitted for the base period, option periods and option under FAR Clause 52.217-8. For evaluation purposes only, the price for option PERIOD 4 under FAR Clause 52.217-8 will be half the price proposed by the offeror for the last option period.

Except for communications conducted for the purpose of minor clarification, the Government intends to evaluate offers and award a firm fixed price contract without discussions. Therefore, each initial offer should contain the Offeror's best terms from a technical and price standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if it is later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary.

Evaluation Factors. The following factors will be evaluated:

Technical Capability - Factor 1. Technical Capability reflects the Government’s confidence in each Offeror’s ability, as demonstrated in its offer, to provide the requirement as stated in this solicitation.

The Government will evaluate whether the offeror has demonstrated that its proposed service meets all minimum requirements as IAW with the Performance Work Statement. The government will not evaluate Price of any offer that is rated Technically Unacceptable.

If a unit price is left blank the Government will evaluate the unit price to be zero dollars and zero cents proposed by the Offeror. The Excel spreadsheet will automatically calculate the Total Price for each CLIN, the Total of all CLINS for each period and the Grand Total Price of all the Totals of all CLINS for each period. The Offeror shall not adjust or attempt to adjust any of the cells in the Excel spreadsheet price model.
