(1) Mark the title page
with the following legend:
This proposal includes data that shall not be disclosed
outside the Government and shall not be
duplicated, used, or disclosed-in whole or in part-for any purpose other
than to evaluate this
proposal. If, however, a contract
is awarded to this offeror as a result of-or in connection with-
the submission of this
data, the Government shall have the right to duplicate, use, or disclose
the data to the extent provided in the resulting contract. This restriction does not limit the

━ PAGE 34 ━
(1) The Government intends to award a contract or contracts
resulting from this solicitation
offeror (s) whose proposal(s) represents the best value after evaluation
accordance with the factors and
subfactors in the solicitation.
(2) The Government may reject any or all proposals if such action is in the Government''s
The Government may waive informalities and minor irregularities in proposals received.
(7) Exchanges with offerors after receipt of a proposal do not constitute a rejection or
counteroffer by the Government.

evaluate proposals and
award a contract without discussions with
offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306 (a)). Therefore, the offeror''s initial
proposal should contain the
offeror''s best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint.
The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines
them to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer
determines that the number of proposals that would
otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be
conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the
greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly
rated proposals.

administrative costs, it is in the Government''s best interest to do so.
The Government may determine that a proposal is
unacceptable if the prices proposed are
materially
unbalanced between line items or subline items. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite
an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly
overstated or understated as indicated by
the application of cost or price analysis techniques. A
proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an
unacceptable risk to the Government.
(9) If a cost realism analysis is performed, cost realism may be considered by the source
selection authority in
evaluating performance or schedule risk.
(10) A written award or acceptance of proposal mailed or
otherwise furnished to the successful
offeror within the time specified in the proposal
shall result in a binding contract without further
action by either party.
(11) If a post-award debriefing
is given to requesting offerors, the Government shall disclose
information, if applicable:
(i) The agency''s evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed
offeror''s offer.
(ii) The overall evaluated cost or price and technical rating of the successful and the
debriefed offeror and past performance information on the debriefed offeror.
(iii) The overall ranking of all offerors, when any ranking was developed by the agency during
source selection.

(v) For acquisitions of commercial items, the make and model of the item to be delivered by the
successful offeror
(vi) Reasonable responses to relevant questions posed by the debriefed offeror as to whether
source-selection
procedures set forth in the solicitation, applicable regulations, and other
applicable authorities were followed by the agency.

such good faith effort, the Contracting Officer shall give the Contractor written notice specifying

for domestic construction material. In addition, the Contracting Officer has determined that the
WTO GPA and Free Trade Agreements
(FTAs) apply to this acquisition. Therefore, the Buy American Act

materials or components listed by the Government as follows:
(4) The Contracting Officer may add other foreign construction material to the list in paragraph
(b) (3) of this clause if the Government determines that--
(i) The cost of domestic construction material would be unreasonable. The cost of a particular
domestic construction material subject to the restrictions of the Buy American Act is unreasonable
when the cost of such
material exceeds the cost of foreign material by more
than 6 percent;
"Request for determination of
inapplicability of the Buy
American Act."
(ii) The application of the restriction of the Buy American Act to a particular construction
material would be impracticable or inconsistent with the public interest; or
(iii) The construction material is not mined, produced, or
manufactured in the United States in
sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities of a satisfactory quality.
(i) Any Contractor request to use foreign construction material in accordance with
paragraph
(b) (4) of this clause shall include adequate information for Government evaluation of the request,

(3) Unless the Government determines that an exception to the Buy American Act applies, use of
foreign construction
material is noncompliant with the Buy American Act.
"Data." To permit evaluation of requests under paragraph (c)
of this clause based on
unreasonable cost, the Contractor shall
include the following information and any applicable
supporting data based on the survey of suppliers:

(iv) Any Contractor request for a determination submitted after contract award shall explain
why the Contractor could not reasonably foresee the need for such determination and could not have
requested the
determination before contract
award. If the Contractor does not submit a satisfactory
explanation, the Contracting Officer need not make a determination.
(2) If the Government determines after contract award that an exception to the Buy American
Act applies and the
Contracting Officer and the Contractor negotiate adequate consideration, the
Contracting Officer will modify the
contract to allow use of the foreign construction material.
However, when the basis for the exception is the unreasonable price of a domestic construction
material,
adequate consideration is not less than the differential established in paragraph (b) (4)
(1) of this clause.
