The price evaluation will document the reasonableness and completeness of the proposed total evaluated price. The Government reserves the right to perform price realism analysis. Sub-Factor 2.1: Cost Evaluation Criteria In accordance with FAR 15.404-1, each offeror's cost proposal will be evaluated for reasonableness, realism, and affordability. The burden of proof for cost reasonableness and realism rests with the offeror. Offerors will be advised to clearly show justification for unique practices that significantly lower costs. An assessment that the proposal is not realistic, reasonable, or affordable may result in the offer being unacceptable for award. Sub-Factor 2.2: Reasonableness The techniques and procedures described under FAR 15.404-1(b) will be the primary means of assessing proposal reasonableness. Further, the evaluation techniques described under FAR 15.404-1(c), as determined appropriate, may also be performed in further determining the reasonableness of the proposal. Sub-Factor 2.3: Realism Cost realism analysis is the process of independently reviewing and evaluating specific elements of each offeror's proposed cost estimate to determine whether the estimated proposed costs are realistic for the work to be performed; reflect a clear understanding of the requirements; and are consistent with the unique methods of performance and materials described in the offeror's technical proposal. - A cost realism analysis will be performed on the proposed effort to determine the probable cost of performance, taking into consideration the offeror's unique business methods, operating procedures, and practices. - The probable cost may differ from the proposed cost and will reflect the Government's best estimate of the cost for the effort that is most likely to result from the offeror's proposal. The probable cost shall be used for purposes of evaluation to determine the best value. The probable cost is determined by adjusting the offeror's proposed cost and fee, when appropriate, to reflect any additions or reductions in cost elements to realistic levels based on the results of the cost realism analysis. Refer to FAR 15.404-1(d) for a discussion of - cost realism and - probable cost. - The cost realism assessment will also consider technical and management aspects identified during the evaluation of the proposal. Sub-Factor 2.4: Affordability The affordability assessment will also consider the total estimated contract price as compared to the projected budget for this effort. The burden of proof for cost affordability, realism, and reasonableness rests with the offeror. Offerors will be advised to clearly show justification for unique practices that significantly lower costs.
