(4) Price is not scored. The price proposal will be reviewed to determine the extent to which it is reasonable, realistic, and balanced. The proposed price shall include all CLINs as listed on the Price Schedule. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions. Therefore, Offerors are instructed that submitted proposals should contain their best pricing.

(5) FAR Clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services: As part of price evaluation, the Government will evaluate its option to extend services (FAR Clause 52.217-8 - Option to Extend Services) by adding one-half of the Offeror’s final option period prices to the Offeror’s total price. Thus, the Offeror’s total price for the purpose of evaluation will include the base period, 1st option, 2nd option, 3rd option, 4th option and one-half of the 4th option.

Offerors are required only to price the base and four (4) options. Offerors shall not submit a price for the potential one-half year extension of services period.

(6) The Government reserves the right to conduct price realism. Price Analysis will be conducted to determine if the price is realistic for the work to be performed. The proposal will be evaluated to determine whether the proposal reflects a thorough understanding of the PWS, and whether the price proposed is realistic for the work to be performed and is consistent with approaches described in the technical proposal. Price proposals, which are unrealistically low, will be deemed reflective of a failure to comprehend the complexity and risk of the proposed contractual requirement and may be grounds for rejection of the proposal.
