Non-Price Factors, when combined, are significantly more important than Total Evaluated Price. The proposal will consist of two volumes: 1. Volume I: Price Proposal - includes Standard Form 1442 and Supplement to Standard Form 1442. 2. Volume II: Technical Proposal - includes one go-no-go factor, three non-price factors, and offeror representations and certifications.

Bare cost equals a factor of 1.000, the same as "NET", all other bid factors "MINUS" or "PLUS" will be added or subtracted from the bare cost factor. A "MINUS" 4% would be written as 0.96, a "PLUS" 4% would be written as 1.040 and "NET" would be written as 1.000. The offered bid factors for the base and each option period will be applied to all work items for which a unit price is stated in the price schedule that are ordered via task orders in the respective base and option periods.
