Solicitation 200-2006-18431 is hereby amended as follows: ? Answers to questions received for this solicitation are hereby provided. (See below) ? As a result of changes being made in this amendment, the due date for proposals is hereby extended from 10:00 AM August 29, 2006 to 10:00 AM September 5, 2006. ? Inquiries concerning the solicitation document should be submitted in writing to the issuing office. Any additions, deletions, or changes to the solicitation will be made by an amendment. OFFERORS ARE INSTRUCTED SPECIFICALLY TO CONTACT ONLY THE SOLICITATION CONTRACTING OFFICE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ASPECT OF THIS REQUIREMENT PRIOR TO CONTRACT AWARD.

Weighted average unit price method of evaluation will be utilized to evaluate price. Line items requesting range pricing will be determined utilizing the Weighted Average Unit Price method. Those with single numeric quantity will be determined by multiplying the quantity with the offeror?s proposed unit price. This means that a representative percentage will be calculated for each quantity of each drug. Please note that all percentages will be rounded to the whole percentage and the HIGHEST quantity for each option range will be utilized. For example, quantities of ****300, 600, and 900 equal a total quantity of 1,800. The percentage for each quantity is 17%, 33%, and 50% respectively (take each quantity divided by the total quantity). Then each percentage is multiplied by its respective proposed unit price. This represents each quantities weighted unit price. For example, if the unit prices were $5.00, $3.00, and $2.00, respectively, the weighted unit prices will be $.85, $.99, $1.00 respectively. Please note that all weighted unit prices will be rounded to the whole penny. The weighted unit price is then multiplied by its respective quantity rounded to the nearest dollar, to get the total price for each quantity. All prices for all line items will then be added together to determine the total overall evaluated price. This price will then be utilized to determine the offerors total evaluated price. ?
