Provide at least three (3) references to include same or similar work. Use Past Performance Questionnaires. You must include accurate and current POC name, telephone numbers and email address with each reference.  The Government will not research contact phone numbers or emails.

Provide any additional information that will assist in understanding your plan/approach and superiority in providing services. Price: Price analysis will be conducted to determine a fair and reasonable price. The Government may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to ensure a fair and reasonable price. For evaluation purposes the offered price will be determined by calculating the total price of Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) in order to determine a total amount.
