For competitive evaluation purposes, the evaluated price for this procurement will be based on a sum of all CLINs. Offerors must provide pricing for all CLINs. All CLINs will be included in the total evaluated price. Each Offeror’s offer shall be evaluated to determine if it is complete.

In the event that there is only one satisfactory offer, the Government reserves the right to request additional cost or pricing data as necessary from both the Offeror and subcontractors, and may conduct negotiations with the Offeror, pursuant to FAR 15.403-4 in order to ensure a reasonable and realistic price.
