For purposes of price evaluation, offerors proposed prices for each step in each CLIN will be multiplied by the maximum number of pairs in that step. The resulting step evaluated prices will be added together for each CLIN. This sum will be divided by the total of all step maximum quantities within the CLIN to yield the average CLIN unit price. The average CLIN unit price will be multiplied by the CLIN maximum quantity to yield the total evaluated CLIN price. The total evaluated CLIN prices will be added to yield the total evaluated price.

Proposals received without the completed copy of the provision at FAR 52.212-3 may be considered non-compliant. Beginning January 1, 2005, the FAR requires the use of the Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA) in Federal solicitations as part of the proposal submission process. ORCA is a web-based system that centralizes and standardizes the collection, storage and viewing of many of the FAR required representations and certifications previously found in solicitations. With ORCA, you now have the ability to enter and maintain your representation and certification information, at your convenience, via the Internet at http://orca.bpn.gov. ORCA also allows Govenrment personnel to a ccess your information online, thus eliminating the need for you to su bmit representations and certifications with each offer. To register in ORCA you will need an active Central Contractor Registration (CCR) record and a Marketing Partner Identification Number (MPIN) identified in that CCR record. Your DUNS number and MPIN act as your company?s ID and password into ORCA. Vendors are reminded to protect their MPIN from unauthorized use. Once in ORCA you will be asked to review pertinent information pre-populated from CCR, provide a point of contact, and answer a questionnaire. The questionnaire is to help you gather information you need for the clauses. The questionnaire is not the official version. Be sure to read the provisions carefully. The answers you provide are then automatically entered into the actual FAR provisions. You will need to review and/or update your ORCA record when necessary, but at least annually in order to maintain its active status. Detailed information regarding ORCA, how to submit your record, and whom to call for ass istance can be found on ORCA?s homepage at http://orca.bpn.gov/help.aspx.
