(ii) Past Performance- The lowest total evaluated priced, technically acceptable offeror’s past performance will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. In determining acceptable past performance, AFRL/RIKO will independently obtain data from other Government and commercial sources in order to consider an Offeror's history of compliance with delivery schedules, order support, and general customer satisfaction.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement.
