Basis for award- The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the government intends to negotiate and award a contract to the lowest responsible offeror under the authority of FAR 15.002(b) along with shortest delivery schedule. All evaluation factors other than cost or price, when combined, are approximately equal to cost or price. The Government may also choose to negotiate if only one offer is received. For instruction to offerors and evaluation criteria see clauses: FAR 52.215-1, 52.247-47, 52.209-4011, 252.215-7009, and 52.217-4003.

Discussions: In accordance with FAR clause 52.212-1(g), the Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors.

However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if it is later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. In addition, the Government reserves the right, without entering discussions, to request additional information necessary to support the offeror's price in order to determine price reasonableness.
