Quotes will be evaluated by performing a comparative evaluation in accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b)(3) to determine which response represents the best as a whole. Quotes will be evaluated by performing a direct comparison of one quote with another in a uniform manner to determine which quote provides the government with its needs, as identified in the RFQ. The government reserves the right to consider a response that offers more than the minimum and select that response if it provides a benefit to the government. The government has the discretion to accept other than the lowest priced quote that provides additional benefits. The government also has the discretion to make an award based on whether the lowest priced of the quotations/offers having the highest past performance rating possible represents the best benefit to the government. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes: Pricing: The sum of all the CLINs, to include options, will represent the total evaluated price. Quoted price must be determined to be fair and reasonable to be eligible for award. Fair and Reasonable Determination A fair and reasonable price determination will be made through any combination of the following methods: Comparison of quoted prices received in response to the solicitation. Comparison of previously quoted prices and previous Government and commercial contract prices with current quoted prices for like items. Use of parametric estimating methods/application of rough yardsticks to highlight significant inconsistencies that warrant additional pricing inquiry. Comparison with competitive published price lists, published market prices of commodities, similar indexes, and discount or rebate arrangements. Comparison of quoted prices with independent Government cost estimates. Comparison of quoted prices with prices obtained through market research for the same or similar items. Analysis of pricing information provided by the offeror. Because below-cost prices are not inherently improper, when vendors are competing for award of a fixed-price contract, vendors are given notice that a business decision to submit a low-priced quotation may be considered as reflecting on their understanding of the contract requirements or the risk associated with their approach. Quoters are cautioned against submitting a quote that contains unbalanced pricing. Unbalanced pricing exits when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items for the base and or option years is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of analysis techniques. Quotes that are determined to be unbalanced may be rejected if the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.
