[Acquisition Method]{.underline}: The Government is conducting this

the simplified acquisition threshold, then the Government will be using
the test program for commercial items authorized by Subpart 13.5 of the
FAR.

Award will be made to the lowest priced, acceptable, responsible
offeror. The quoter shall submit a completed solicitation, including
Sections 1 and 5.

The Government reserves the right to reject proposals that are
unreasonably low or high in price.

The lowest price will be determined by multiplying the offered prices
times the estimated quantities in "Prices - Continuation of SF-18, block
11", and arriving at a grand total, including all options.

The Government will determine acceptability by assessing the offeror\'s
compliance with the terms of the RFQ.

The Government will determine contractor responsibility by analyzing
whether the apparent successful offeror complies with the requirements
of FAR 9.1, including:

-   adequate financial resources or the ability to obtain them;

-   ability to comply with the required performance period, taking into
    consideration all existing commercial and governmental business
    commitments;

-   satisfactory record of integrity and business ethics;

    obtain them;

**Attachment 2: Additional scope of work parameters**

**Speaking 3**\
(General Professional Proficiency)\
Able to speak the language with sufficient structural accuracy and
vocabulary to participate effectively in most formal and informal
conversations on practical, social, and professional topics.

-   Nevertheless, the individual's limitations generally restrict the
    professional contexts of language use to matters of shared knowledge
    and/or international convention.

-   Discourse is cohesive.

-   The individual uses the language acceptably, but with some
    noticeable imperfections; yet, errors virtually never interfere with
    understanding and rarely disturb the native speaker.

-   The individual can effectively combine structure and vocabulary to
    convey his/her meaning accurately.

-   The individual speaks readily and fills pauses suitably.

-   In face-to-face conversation with natives speaking the standard
    dialect at a normal rate of speech, comprehension is quite complete.

-   Although cultural references, proverbs, and the implications of
    nuances and idiom may not be fully understood, the individual can
    easily repair the conversation.

-   Pronunciation may be obviously foreign.

-   Individual sounds are accurate; but stress, intonation, and pitch
    control may be faulty.

**Examples:**

-   The individual can typically discuss particular interests and
    special fields of competence with reasonable ease.

-   Can use the language as part of normal professional duties such as
    answering objections, clarifying points, justifying decisions,
    understanding the essence of challenges, stating and defending
    policy, conducting meetings, delivering briefings or other extended
    and elaborate informative monologues.

-   Can reliably elicit information and informed opinion from native
    speakers.

-   Structural inaccuracy is rarely the major cause of misunderstanding.

-   Use of structural devices is flexible and elaborate.

-   Without searching for words or phrases, the individual uses the
    language clearly and relatively naturally to elaborate concepts
    freely and make ideas easily understandable to native speakers.

-   Errors occur infrequently except in highly complex structures.

**Speaking 3+**\
Is often able to use the language to satisfy professional needs in a
wide range of sophisticated and demanding tasks.\
\
**Examples:**

-   Despite obvious strengths, the individual may exhibit some
    hesitancy, uncertainty, effort, or errors that limit the range of
    language-use tasks that can be reliably performed.

-   Typically, there is particular strength in fluency and one or more,
    but not all, of the following:

-   Breadth of lexicon, including low- and medium-frequency items,
    especially socio-linguistic/cultural references and nuances of close
    synonyms;

-   Structural precision, with sophisticated features that are readily,
    accurately, and appropriately controlled (such as complex
    modification and embedding in Indo-European languages);

-   Discourse competence in a wide range of contexts and tasks, often
    matching a native speaker\'s strategic and organizational abilities
    and expectations.

-   Occasional patterned errors occur infrequently except in highly
    complex structures.

**Reading 3**\
(General Professional Proficiency)\
Able to read at a normal speed and with almost complete comprehension of
a variety of authentic prose material on unfamiliar subjects.

-   Reading ability is not dependent on subject matter knowledge,
    although it is not expected that the individual can thoroughly
    comprehend subject matter that is highly dependent on cultural
    knowledge or outside his or her general experience without an
    accompanying explanation.

-   Text-types include news stories similar to wire service reports or
    international news items in major periodicals, routine
    correspondence, general reports, and technical material in his/her
    professional field. All of these may include hypothesis,
    argumentation, and supported opinions.

-   Misreading is rare.

-   Is almost always able to interpret material correctly, relate ideas,
    and \"read between the lines\" (i.e. understand the writers'
    implicit intentions).

-   Can get the gist of more sophisticated texts, but may be unable to
    detect or understand subtlety and nuance.

-   Rarely has to pause over or reread general vocabulary.

-   However, may have trouble with unusually complex structure and
    low-frequency idioms.

**Reading 3+**\
Can comprehend a variety of styles and forms pertinent to professional
needs.

-   Rarely misinterprets such texts as described above, or experiences
    difficulty relating ideas or making inferences.

-   Is able to comprehend many sociolinguistic and cultural references.

-   However, may miss some nuances and subtleties.

-   Is able to comprehend a considerable range of intentionally complex
    structures, low-frequency idioms, and uncommon connotative
    intentions; however, accuracy is not complete.

The student is typically able to read with facility and appreciate
contemporary expository, technical, or literary texts that do not rely
heavily on slang and unusual idioms.
