The Government will evaluate written statement provided by the offeror to validate whether or not exceptions were taken to the combination synopsis/solicitation and/or the Statement of Work (SOW). Technical Performance will be assigned ratings of Acceptable (clearly meets minimum requirements) or Unacceptable (does not clearly meet minimum requirements). Part II. PRICE QUOTE. Each offeror's proposed price ("SCHEDULE OF SUPPLIES AND SERVICES") will be evaluated for reasonableness. The Government may use any of the following price analysis techniques IAW FAR 13.106-3(a) to determine price reasonableness: Price will be evaluated for reasonableness based on FAR 13.106-3 competitive quotes, comparison of the proposed price with prices found reasonable on previous contracts, a comparison with similar items in related industry, comparison to an independent Government estimate, or any other reasonable basis.
