If discussions are held, the Government will allow Offeror s an opportunity to comment on any negative past performance information obtained by the Government.

To assist in this determination, Offeror s are required to complete the Business Management Questionnaire, please see Attachment D. Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement.
