PLACES OF PERFORMANCE\nThe services shall be performed at the following VA Medical Centers:\nFacility\nAddress\nVA Medical Center Memphis\n1030 Jefferson Avenue, Memphis, TN 38104\nVA Medical Center Mountain Home\nVeterans Way at Lamont Street, Mountain Home, TN 37684\nVA Medical Center TVHS Murfreesboro Campus\n3400 Lebanon Pike, Murfreesboro, TN 37129\nVA Medical Center TVHS Nashville Campus\n1310 24th Avenue South, Nashville, TN 37212\nVA Medical Center Lexington\n1101 Veterans Drive, Lexington, KY 40502\nVA Medical Center Louisville\n800 Zorn Avenue, Louisville, KY 40206\n4.

PRICE EVALUATION\nOfferors shall submit firm-fixed prices for the base period and each option period in the Schedule of Supplies/Services.\nThe Government will evaluate total price by adding the base-period and all option-period prices, including any other price elements identified in the solicitation.\nThe lowest evaluated price will be determined from the total evaluated prices of quotations eligible for award.\nThe Government will assess price reasonableness and may consider unbalanced pricing in accordance with applicable acquisition requirements.\nThe Government may reject an offer if it determines that materially unbalanced pricing poses an unacceptable risk.\nThe Government may request clarification or other information as permitted by the solicitation and applicable acquisition procedures.\nEvaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise them.\nAward will not be based on a price/technical tradeoff.\n36.
