Special Project CLINs:�Offerors must propose a ceiling amount of $200K per year, which has already been entered into the pricing sheet for all Offerors and will be included in the government�s calculation of the Offeror�s total evaluated price to use for the tradeoff.� Price Quote shall be submitted with sufficient detail to support the quoted prices and to permit the Government to determine that quoted prices are fair and reasonable.� Note that Price Quote does not have a page limit.������� Evaluation of Option to Extend Services. As part of the price evaluation, the Government will evaluate the Option to Extend Services under FAR Clause 52.217-8 by adding one-half of the offeror's final option period price to the offeror's total price. Therefore, the offeror's total evaluated price will include the prices for the base period, first option period, second option period, plus one-half of the second option period price. The Government may determine a quote is unacceptable if the prices quoted are materially unbalanced between line items or subline items. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. A quote may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government. (d) The Government will evaluate offerors� past performance information through various methods (e.g., CPARS, FAPIIS, SPRS (formerly PPIRS) etc.) to determine eligibility for award as part of contractor responsibility.
