Common use of Price Evaluation Clause in Contracts

Price Evaluation. The Government will evaluate prices as submitted in the electronic Price Tables (spreadsheets) to determine price competitiveness. As part of this evaluation, the Government will calculate the Average Price Per Unit (APPU) and Total Evaluated Price (TEP) to the government for each Quotation using the submitted pricing and the Bid Model described below. The Bid Model will weight the pricing received by year over the period of performance. Weighting is specified below in Table 5-1. Weighting 1.0 1.0 0.8 0.6 0.3 The Government’s Price Evaluation will use previously identified estimated volumes from Section 4.9 (Estimated Federal Agencies’ Volumes). For all pricing, including as available items, the Government may compare the submitted pricing to commercially available pricing and against each other. Offerors are advised that all quoted prices may be subject to price analysis, regardless of whether they are specifically included in the APPU or TEP components of the Bid Model. Any significant risk to the Government of unacceptably higher comparative costs, resulting from potential future traffic volumes and patterns not represented in the information provided to the Offerors, will be reflected in the analysis. As demonstrated through their responses to Sections 3.10 and 3.11, Offerors’ Quotations that ensure more competitive pricing across government and throughout the term of the agreement will be identified as greater value under the planned Best Value Quotation evaluation. The Government has developed a Bid Model that it will utilize as part of its price evaluation. For evaluation purposes only, the Bid Model provides estimated volumes for CLINs expected to represent the highest sales demand. These include all voice, data, and data add-on plans (see Figure 5-1 below), including selected features. This Bid Model will be used to develop the Offeror’s Average Price Per Unit (APPU) and Total Evaluated Price by taking the usage and multiplying by the Offeror’s prices.
