The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). Evaluation factors will be considered in descending order of importance:Technical Capability: Provide technical performance plan Past Performance: Prospective contractors may provide a list of three business references for which the contractor performed the same or similar scope as required in the performance work statement.
