DSCR M12H: EVALUATION OF OFFERS - ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT - MATERIAL COST INDEX

M12H   52.216-9G26   EVALUATION OF OFFERS         DSCR (FEB 1995) 
AND                  ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT 
M16F34


    (a)  Offers in response to solicitations will be evaluated 
without adding any amount for economic price adjustment unless the 
Economic Price Adjustment (EPA) clause included in the solicitation 
provides for offerors to specify the portion of the contract price 
subject to EPA.  In this case, the offered price(s) subject to the 
EPA clause will be adjusted to the maximum possible extent under the 
EPA using the price ceiling limitation provision of such clause for 
the basic contract plus all options covered by the evaluation.  The 
resulting price(s) will be used for evaluation of offers.

    (b)  If a successful offeror stipulates a lower maximum increase 
limitation then that included in the solicitation, it will be 
incorporated into the resulting contract.

    (c)  Offers which (1) increase the maximum ceiling percentage 
specified in the solicitation, (2) stipulate a maximum decrease limit,
or (3) delete or otherwise alter the economic price adjustment clause, 
will not be considered for award, unless the Contracting Officer 
determines that award on such basis is in the best interests of the 
Government and all Offerors are afforded an opportunity to offer on 
the same basis.
