Offerors are advised to review all data items and ensure that they are proposing to the specific data requirements and level of effort involved. Reasonableness: The existence of adequate price competition is expected to support a determination of reasonableness. Price analysis techniques may be used to validate price reasonableness.

Balance: Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of proposal analysis techniques. The Government will analyze the proposed prices to determine whether there are unbalanced separately priced line items. Prices submitted will be compared and evaluated to assure that a logical progression exists as related to price and quantity changes within each offeror s response to the pricing structure in the Schedule.
