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)).

In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, "unknown" shall be considered "acceptable" FACTOR C - PRICE Price analysis will be conducted for each proposal to ensure completeness, realism, reasonableness, and balance IAW FAR 15.404-1(b). The following applies to that evaluation. i. Completeness. The offeror shall complete the pricing information for all CLINs, Sub- CLINs and ELINs (as appropriate) identified for each year and option year (include total price for all five (5) years). Any underlying assumptions including proposed escalation rates between base and subsequent option periods shall be clearly explained. ii. Price Realism. Price Analysis in conjunction with Technical Analysis will be used to perform a Price Realism Analysis to determine if the price is realistic for the work to be performed. The proposal will be evaluated using price analysis techniques to determine whether the proposal reflects a thorough understanding of the PWS, and whether the price proposed is realistic for the work to be performed and is consistent with approaches described in the technical and management proposals. Price proposals, which are unrealistically low, will be deemed reflective of a failure to comprehend the complexity and risk of the proposed contractual requirement and may be grounds for rejection of the proposal. iii. Price Reasonableness. Price should also reflect fair market value and be reasonable when compared to the independent Government estimate, previous prices for same or similar services and/or when compared among other technically acceptable offers. iv. Unbalanced Pricing. As part of the price evaluation, proposals will be reviewed to identify any unbalanced pricing. IAW FAR 15.404-1(g)(3), Unbalanced Pricing, a proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government. v. Price is not scored. The Government will review the price proposal to determine the extent to which it is reasonable, realistic, and consistent with the technical proposal. The lowest price for award purposes will be the combined total of the effective period of five (5) years from the date of award. Price shall include all CLINs, Sub-CLINs as listed on the Price Schedule including option periods. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions. Therefore, Offerors are instructed that submitted proposals should contain their best pricing. vi. FAR Clause 52.217-8. As part of price evaluation, the Government will evaluate its option to extend services (FAR Clause 52.217-8 - Option to Extend Services) by adding one-half of the offeror's final option period price to the offeror's total price. Thus, the offeror's total price for the purpose of evaluation will include the base period, 1st option, 2nd option, 3rd option, 4th option, and one-half of the 4th option. Offerors are required only to price the base and four (4) options. Offerors shall not submit a price for the potential one-half year extension of services period. (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.
