Government, price and other factors considered.

comparative evaluation process outlined in FAR 13.106-2 (b) (3), where quotations will
Combined Synopsis/Solicitation Notice
Combined Synopsis/Solicitation Notice
Page 12 of 13
be compared to one another to determine which provides the best benefit to the
Government. The Government reserves the right to consider a quotation other than the
lowest price that provides additional benefit(s). Quotations may exceed minimum
requirements of the solicitation. The Government reserves the right to select a quotation
that provides benefit to the Government that exceeds the minimum requirements of the
solicitation but is not required to do so. Each response must meet the minimum
requirements of the solicitation. The Government is not requesting or accepting
alternate quotations. The evaluation will consider the following:
1. Technical or Quality.
2. Past Performance: The past performance evaluation will assess the relative risks
associated with a quoter’s likelihood of success in fulfilling the solicitation’s
requirements as indicated by the quoter’s record of past performance. The past
performance evaluation may be based on the contracting officer’s knowledge of
and previous experience with the supply or service being acquired; Customer
surveys, and past performance questionnaire replies; Contractor Performance
Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) at http://www.cpars.gov/; or any other
reasonable basis.
3. Price: The Government will evaluate the price by adding the total of all line item
prices, including all options. The Total Evaluated Price will be that sum.
(b) Options. The Government will evaluate quotations for award purposes by
adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. This
includes options under FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, which applies to this
solicitation. Evaluation of options under FAR 52.217-8 will be accomplished by adding
six months of the quoter's price for the last potential period of performance under this
contract to the quoter's total price. For example, if the contract includes option periods
that are exercisable under FAR 52.217-9, the quoter's total price for the purpose of
evaluation will include the base period, all option periods, and an additional six months
of the last option period. Quoters must price only the base and option periods specified
in the contract line-item numbers (CLINs), and shall not submit a price for the potential
six-month extension of services under FAR 52.217-8. The Government reserves the
right to exercise the option under FAR 52.217-8 before the end of any of the contractor's
performance periods and will be exercised at the price and/or rates in effect at the time
the clause is exercised. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to
exercise the option(s).
