As a result of the solicitation, the Government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract to the responsible bidder whose bid, conforming to the invitation for bids, will be most advantageous to the Government, considering only price. The Government will determine the apparent low bidder in accordance with the procedure described in DFARS 252.236-7007, Additive or Deductive Items.  Prior to award, to establish its responsibility, the apparent low bidder will be requested by the Government to submit a statement regarding his previous experience in performing comparable work, business and technical organization, financial and bonding resources, resources available to be used in performing the work, etc. (this is not an all-inclusive list).

The language that will be used for the Additive or Deductive Items is as follows:

The resulting award may be awarded on an All, Some or None basis pending the availability of funds and budget. The contract will be awarded to the bidder providing the maximum scope (combination of the most CLINS) within the budget. The awardee will be lowest in aggregate for the CLINS that are awarded. The low offeror's price for the combination to be awarded will be less than the price offered by any other responsive, responsible offeror for those same CLINS.

Example. The amount available is $100,000. Offeror A's base bid and four additives are $85,000, $10,000, $8,000, $6,000, and $4,000. Offeror B's base bid and four additives are $80,000, $16,000, $9,000, $7,000, and $4,000. Offeror A is the low offeror. The aggregate amount of offeror A's bid for purposes of award would be $99,000, which includes a base bid plus the first and fourth additives. The second and third additives were skipped because each of them would cause the aggregate bid to exceed $100,000.

Your attention is directed to FAR CLAUSE 52.219-14 (b) (4) LIMITATIONS ON SUBCONTRACTING which states “By submission of an offer and execution of a contract, the Offeror /Contractor agrees that in performance of the contract the concern will perform at least 15 percent of the cost of the contract, not including the cost of materials, with its own employees” applies to this project.
