However, if the Government does not receive adequate price competition, it will evaluate price proposals to ensure price reasonableness of the services or products being provided to the Government, considering the specific terms and conditions and relevant commercial practices. The Government will evaluate proposals by adding the total of all line item prices for the base and all options.
