The Government shall employ price analysis techniques in accordance with FAR 13.106-3 to determine that a proposed price is fair and reasonable. 9.4.3 Reserved 9.4.4 Unbalanced Pricing.

Unbalanced offers may be determined unacceptable. 9.4.5 Options. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). 9.5 EVALUATION OF PAST PERFORMANCE 9.5.1 Evaluation of this factor will assess the offeror's Past Performance. Offerors shall furnish information for at least (2) contracts that have been completed within the last five years for similar services with like or similar size and complexity.
