(viii) FAR 52.212-1 - Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Items applies to this acquisition. (ix) FAR 52.212-2 - Evaluation - Commercial Items applies to this acquisition. The Government will award a contract resulting on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable Basis 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 Government will evaluate each offeror's proposed FFP prices under each Columns Per Foot (4 WARO) (Includes Shipping) & Price Per Foot (6 WARO) (Includes Shipping) (attachment 1) to determine whether they are mathematically and materially balanced. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more CLINs, or CLIN elements, appears to be significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of price or cost analysis techniques. Unbalanced pricing may increase performance risk and could result in the payment of unreasonably high prices. Therefore, an offer may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government. 2.) Lowest Price will be determined by summing each Offeror's Price under each Columns Price Per Foot (4 WARO) (Includes Shipping) & Price Per Foot (6 WARO) (Includes Shipping) (attachment 1) and dividing by 60 (the number of requested wires). The two remaining averages will be divided by two (2) which will reflect one remaining number showing the average price.

Certification must be up-to-date and valid. 2.)
