Price: The price proposal will be evaluated for completeness to ensure a price has been submitted for all items or group of items to include the price for technical data items (Not Separately Priced) All proposals will be evaluated for unbalanced pricing. Offerors are cautioned that unbalanced unit prices may be grounds for exclusion of a proposal from consideration for award. The Government will determine a total evaluated price for each Schedule proposed based upon known Government requirements for the five-year ordering period at the time of proposal evaluation. The Government reserves the right to adjust the proposed price in order to ensure comparable price comparisons in accordance with the solicitation requirements.

Commercial Items (a) Basis for Award. The award will be made on a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) basis. The Government reserves the right to award a single or multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the Offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified.

The Government will award to the responsible Offeror(s) whose proposal(s), in response to the solicitation, provides the Government the lowest evaluated price and meets the acceptability standards on a pass/fail basis. All factors and subfactors are equally important. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Price and Technical. A proposal shall be considered unacceptable if it fails to meet the pass/fail criteria. (1) Factor 1- Price: The Offeror shall complete the pricing in the Section B for a five-year ordering period for the item(s) proposed. Offerors shall propose range order quantities and unit pricing for the applicable CLINs to maximize economies of scale using stepladder pricing (e.g., 1-10 ea, 11-25 ea, 26-50 ea, etc.). (2) Factor 2: Technical. Each Technical subfactor will receive a rating of acceptable or unacceptable.

Standard Commercial Warranty: The Contractor shall extend to the Government the full coverage of any standard commercial warranty normally offered in a similar commercial sale, provided such warranty is available at no additional cost to the Government. Acceptance of the standard commercial does not waive the Government?s rights under the ?Inspection? clause nor does it limit the Government?s rights with regard to the other terms and conditions of this contract. In the event of a conflict, the terms and conditions of the contract shall take precedence over the standard commercial warranty. The standard commercial warranty period shall begin upon final acceptance of the applicable material and/or services listed in the Schedule.
