            TITLE 48--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SYSTEM

 

                CHAPTER 1--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION

 

PART 25_FOREIGN ACQUISITION--Table of Contents

 

         Subpart 25.5_Evaluating Foreign Offers_Supply Contracts

 

Sec. 25.503  Group offers.



    (a) If the solicitation or an offer specifies that award can be made 

only on a group of line items or on all line items contained in the 

solicitation or offer, reject the offer--

    (1) If any part of the award would consist of sanctioned or 

prohibited end products (see Subparts 25.6 and 25.7); or

    (2) If the acquisition is covered by the WTO GPA and any part of the 

offer consists of items restricted in accordance with 25.403(c).

    (b) If an offer restricts award to a group of line items or to all 

line items contained in the offer, determine for each line item whether 

to apply an evaluation factor (see 25.504-4, Example 1).

    (1) First, evaluate offers that do not specify an award restriction 

on a line item basis in accordance with 25.502, determining a tentative 

award pattern by selecting for each line item the offer with the lowest 

evaluated price.

    (2) Evaluate an offer that specifies an award restriction against 

the offered prices of the tentative award pattern, applying the 

appropriate evaluation factor on a line item basis.

    (3) Compute the total evaluated price for the tentative award 

pattern and the offer that specified an award restriction.

    (4) Unless the total evaluated price of the offer that specified an 

award restriction is less than the total evaluated price of the 

tentative award pattern, award based on the tentative award pattern.

    (c) If the solicitation specifies that award will be made only on a 

group of line items or all line items contained in the solicitation, 

determine the category of end products on the basis of each line item, 

but determine whether to apply an evaluation factor on the basis of the 

group of items (see 25.504-4, Example 2).

    (1) If the proposed price of domestic end products exceeds 50 

percent of the total proposed price of the group, evaluate the entire 

group as a domestic offer. Evaluate all other groups as foreign offers.

    (2) For foreign offers, if the proposed price of domestic end 

products and eligible products exceeds 50 percent of the total proposed 

price of the group, evaluate the entire group as an eligible offer.

    (3) Apply the evaluation factor to the entire group in accordance 

with 25.502.
