* The Government will evaluate bids based on the unit prices identified in Section B for CLINS 0011-0015 and intends to award a single firm-fixed-price contract to the responsible Bidder with the lowest total price.
* The lowest total price will be determined by multiplying each year's proposed unit price by the estimated annual quantity and summing the results for all five ordering years.
* A price is reasonable if, in its nature and amount, it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business.
* The Government may make a determination of price reasonableness by any means allowable under RFO FAR 15.404-1: Proposal Analysis Techniques.
* Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total price, the price of one or more contract line items or ranges is significantly over- or understated as determined by the application of cost and price analysis techniques.
