The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: a. Offers are to be evaluated via Technical Evaluation. Please see attached Technical Evaluation document. b. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. To account for the option periods possible under 52.217-8 (maximum of 1 year), Options to Extend Services, the Government will evaluate the option to extend services by adding one year of the offeror’s final option period price to the offeror’s total price. This amount will be the total evaluated price. The Government may choose to exercise the Option to Extend Services at the end of any performance period (base or option periods). Prices for the base and option periods, including the 1 year option available under FAR 52.217-8, will be evaluated to ensure that they are fair and reasonable for performance of the requirements established in the solicitation and as proposed in the technical submission. The price for the effort associated with FAR 52.217-8 will not be included in the total awarded value at contract award. If, at the end of the contract’s/order’s period of performance (the end of the base period or any option period) and within the time period established in the clause, the Government chooses to exercise this option, the pricing will be pursuant to the rates specified in the contract for the preceding performance period. c. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award. d. Verification of SAM registration to include UEI and Reps and Certs (www.sam.gov); e. The Government will utilize Contractor submitted information as well as information obtained from any other sources to include FAPIIS and personal knowledge to review an offeror’s past performance. If the Government finds adverse past performance, the offeror will not be considered for award.
