BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD The government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all years, to include the six-month extension under FAR 52.217-8, to the total price for the basic requirement. The government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the annual prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of the FAR 52.217-8 option shall not obligate the government to exercise the option. Price Evaluation. Initially offerors shall be ranked according to price, including the 6 month option to extend services. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the totals for CLINs X001 and X004 ("X" represents basic and option years) for the total price for the basic requirement and then add 50% of the proposed value for CLINs 4001 - 4004 for the evaluation of the 6 month extension option. Technical. Next, the government technical evaluation team shall evaluate the technical proposal submitted by the lowest-priced offeror on an acceptable/unacceptable (pass/fail) basis, assigning a rating of Acceptable or Unacceptable. The Technical Capability Statement will be evaluated to ensure that it reflects a sound, logical approach to the performance of services during normal operations (non-emergency or crisis). The offeror's proposal will be rated Acceptable or Unacceptable as defined in Table 1. If the lowest priced offeror is deemed to be acceptable that offer represents the best value for the government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers. If the lowest priced offeror is deemed unacceptable, the next lowest priced offeror will be evaluated for technical acceptability and the process will continue (in order of lowest price) until an offeror is judged acceptable. Table 1. Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation. Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.
