However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions and to permit Offerors to revise their proposals if determined necessary by the PCO. M.1.2. Other Evaluation Considerations: Proposals that are unrealistic in terms of technical or schedule commitments, unrealistically low in price, or contain unbalanced prices may be considered indicative of a lack of understanding of the complexity of the contract requirements and may be determined quote mark Unacceptable quote mark.

Factor 3 - Price Factor Evaluation Criteria: a. The Government will perform a price analysis to determine price reasonableness in accordance with FAR 15-404-1(b). However, if deemed necessary by the Contracting Officer, a cost analysis may be performed per FAR 15.404-1(c). b. A price evaluation will be conducted by totaling the evaluated prices for all CLINs. For CLINs with a single numeric quantity, the evaluated price will be calculated by multiplying the proposed unit price by the set quantity. c. Price Inconsistencies. A proposal is presumed to represent an Offeror's best effort to respond to the solicitation. Any inconsistency, whether real or apparent, between promised performance and price, should be explained in the proposal. Any significant inconsistencies, if unexplained, raise a fundamental issue of the Offeror's understanding of the nature and scope of work required and his financial ability to perform the contract and may be grounds for rejection of the proposal. d. Unbalanced Pricing. The Government may determine that a proposal is unacceptable if the prices proposed are materially unbalanced between prices for the basic requirement and the option quantities. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, one or more contract line items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. A proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.
