The Government will determine the apparent low bidder in accordance with the procedure described in DFARS 252.236-7007, Additive or Deductive Items.

The language that will be used for the Additive or Deductive Items is as follows: The resulting award may be awarded on an All, Some or None basis pending the availability of funds and budget. The contract will be awarded to the bidder providing the maximum scope (combination of the most CLINS) within the budget. The awardee will be lowest in aggregate for the CLINS that are awarded. The low offeror's price for the combination to be awarded will be less than the price offered by any other responsive, responsible offeror for those same CLINS. Example. The amount available is $100,000. Offeror A's base bid and four additives are $85,000, $10,000, $8,000, $6,000, and $4,000. Offeror B's base bid and four additives are $80,000, $16,000, $9,000, $7,000, and $4,000. Offeror A is the low offeror. The aggregate amount of offeror A's bid for purposes of award would be $99,000, which includes a base bid plus the first and fourth additives.
