The government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced.

The evaluation will assume that the prices for any option exercised will be at the same rates as those in effect under the contract. The evaluation will therefore assume that the addition of the price or prices of any possible extension or extensions to the total price for the basic requirement and the total price for the priced options has the same effect on the total price of all quotes relative to each other, and will not affect the ranking of quotes based on price, unless, after reviewing the quotes, the government determines that there is a basis for finding otherwis
