Line items are organized into contract line items, subline items, and exhibit line items. Separate line items should be established to account for separate pricing, identification (see section 211.274 of the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement), deliveries, or funding. The Government recognizes that the line item structure in this solicitation may not conform to every offeror's practices. Failure to correct these issues can result in difficulties in accounting for deliveries and processing payments. Therefore, offerors are invited to propose an alternative line item structure for items on which bids, proposals, or quotes are requested in this solicitation to ensure that the resulting contract structure is economically and administratively advantageous to the Government and the Contractor. (b) If an alternative line item structure is proposed, the structure must be consistent with subpart 204.71 of the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement and PGI 204.71. A sample line item structure and a proposed alternative structure are as follows: Solicitation: ITEM NO. SUPPLIES/SERVICE QUANTITY UNIT UNIT PRICE AMOUNT 0001 Computer, Desktop with CPU, Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse 20 EA Alternative line item structure offer where monitors are shipped separately: ITEM NO. SUPPLIES/SERVICE QUANTITY UNIT UNIT PRICE AMOUNT 0001 Computer, Desktop with CPU, Keyboard and Mouse 20 EA 0002 Monitor 20 EA (End of provision) DFARS 252-225-7035 BUY AMERICAN - FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS - BALANCE OF PAYMENTS PROGRAM CERTIFICATE (NOV 2012) As prescribed in 225.1101(9) (i), use the following provision: BUY AMERICAN- FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS-BALANCE OF PAYMENTS PROGRAM CERTIFICATE (NOV 2012) (a) Definitions.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: technical, price, and past performance. The award decision will be based on the Lowest Priced, Technically Acceptable offer, with an acceptable record of Past Performance. "Best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable proposal with the lowest evaluated price." (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. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award. (End of provision) ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2 Paragraph (a) is hereby supplemented with the following: (a). The total evaluated price must be reasonable, and any additional expense must be justified by a corresponding value for technical merit, or an expectation of greater quality of performance. (b). Contractors may not qualify if any of the following are not met: 1. Proposal does not reasonably address the requirements in the request for proposal (RFP). 2. Proposal includes major deficiencies or omissions which discussions could not be expected to cure without a major revision or a new proposal. 3. Proposal is so technically inferior or so out of line in price as compared to other proposals as to preclude it from having a reasonable chance for award. 4. An unrealistically low price, may indicate lack of sound management judgment and lack of understanding of the requirement for the geographic area of service, or unbalanced pricing of line items, as proposed initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating a proposal either on the basis that the offeror does not understand the requirement or has made an imprudent offer. 5. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, if necessary. PART I TECHINICAL: Technical capability to include product literature, catalog price lists if available; warranty, guarantee, technical specs, and delivery information. Technical will be evaluated as either Acceptable or Unacceptable. Best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable proposal with the lowest evaluated price. Definitions are as follows: ACCEPTABLE: To be rated acceptable, the offeror's technical proposal must demonstrate it can meet all requirements. UNACCEPTABLE: A technical proposal that fails to demonstrate it can meet one or more requirements will be determined unacceptable. PART II PAST PERFORMANCE Offeror is required to submit information, on a single page, identifying federal, state and local Government and private contracts performed within the past three years, which are similar in scope and complexity to the effort described in this solicitation. If none, offeror should so state and provide information on references. Information provided by the Contractor shall state: The type of service or supplies provided with information to verify references: Names; telephone numbers; Points of Contact; amount of contract; and email addresses. Past performance shall be used as an evaluation factor within the LPTA process, unless waived by the PCO in accordance with FAR 15.101- 2(b). It shall be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.305 and DFARS 215.305. However, the comparative assessment in FAR 15.305(a) (2) (i) does not apply. Therefore, past performance will be rated on an "acceptable" or "unacceptable" basis using the ratings below. Acceptable: Based on the offeror's performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror's performance record is unknown. (See note below.) Unacceptable: Based on the offeror's performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a) (2) (iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, "unknown" shall be considered "acceptable." PART III PRICE: Price will be evaluated separately from Technical and will be evaluated for fairness and reasonability. Offeror shall provide their published price list with their offer. (End of Addendum to 52.212-2) FAR 52.212-3 OFFEROR REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (MAY 2014) ALTERNATE I (MAY 2014) Vendors shall include a completed copy of FAR provision 52.212-3 Offeror Representations and Certifications with their offer. Offerors shall include a confirmation of receipt of any amendments to this solicitation. Failure to submit a confirmation could result in the offer being determined non- responsive.
