• The pricing template for WWRS are Excel based and found in Attachment 9, WWRS Pricing Matrix, to the RFP.

• Unrealistically Low Costs or Prices: Unrealistically low proposed costs or prices, may be grounds for considering proposal unacceptable either on the basis that the offeror does not understand the requirement or the offeror has made an unrealistic proposal. The government reserves the right to perform price realism analysis.

• Offeror shall use generally acceptable estimating techniques (i.e., Labor Hours, Parametric modeling, Cost Estimating Relationships (CER), etc.).

e. Solicitation Requirement Terms and Conditions

Offeror is required to meet all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or sub-factors. Failure to meet a requirement may result in offer being

ineligible for award. Offeror must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale.
