The evaluation criteria is divided into three factors: FAR 52.212-2 -- Evaluation -- Commercial Items (Oct 2014) a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: - Past Performance - Technical Capability - Cost/Price Technical and past performance, when combined, are significantly more important than cost or price. b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers 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). c) It is the Government's intent to award without discussions. Offerors are encouraged to present their best technical proposal and prices in their initial proposal submission. However, should discussions become necessary, the Government reserves the right to conduct them. If the Government awards without discussions, the Offerors may be given the opportunity to clarify certain aspects of proposals or to resolve minor clerical errors. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest. d) 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. vi. 52.217-8 -- Option to Extend Services (Nov 1999) a) The Government may require continued performance of any services within the limits and at the rates specified in the contract.

The Contracting Officer may exercise the option by written notice to the Contractor within 30 days. b) Pursuant to clause 52.217-9, Option to Extend the Term of the Contract, in the event that the Contracting Officer exercises an option, the exercise of any options is subject to FAR 52.232-19 - Availability of Funds for the Next Fiscal Year, and the continuing needs of the Government. - 52.217-9 - Option to Extend the Term of the Contract (Mar 2000) a) The Government may extend the term of this contract by written notice to the Contractor within 30 days; provided that the Government gives the Contractor a preliminary written notice of its intent to extend at least 60 days before the contract expires.

The Government's obligation for performance of this contract beyond that date is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds from which payment for contract purposes can be made.
