The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: technical competence, past performance, and price. Technical competence and past performance, when combined, weighs more than price. Offerors shall submit past performance information to include contract number, government agency point of contact and contact information, description of supplies/services provided, unit of issue, unit price, and extended price. Past performance shall be current and shall not exceed three (3) fiscal years before posting date of the combined synopsis/solicitation on FBO. (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) 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.
