7. It is anticipated that the contract will have a base year plus four (4) twelve month options. The Government intends to issue a firm fixed price contract to the responsible offeror whose lowest price and technically acceptable quote conforms to the solicitation. The Government will not reimburse any interested parties for monies spent to provide a response to the subsequent solicitation notice. Only technically acceptable offers will be considered. The Government intends to evaluate offers and make award without discussions; however, this does not preclude the Government from having discussions if it is in the best interest of the Government. All interested parties must quote on all items.
8. The Government will organize the quotes based on the lowest price and will evaluate the lowest priced offeror first. If the quote with the lowest price (including all options) is determined acceptable, reasonable, affordable and balanced than that offer represents the best value for the Government and award will be placed with that contractor. Award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration to any other offers. If the Government deems the lowest price quote not acceptable or not easily correctable, or if at any time it becomes other than the lowest priced quote, the next lowest priced quote will be evaluated, followed by an analysis of their price to verify reasonableness, affordability and balance. Discussions will take place as necessary or deemed appropriate by the Government. The evaluation process will continue until reaching a technically acceptable quote with a proposed price that is reasonable, affordable and balanced, or until all quotes are evaluated.
9. Provide a price quote for each of the following CLINs and total price (an updated pricing sheet is attached for you convenience and can be adjusted accordingly. However, the spreadsheet it is not required) in accordance with the SOW, dated 16 August 2020.
