writing that it is unreasonable as to price. (c) Unbalanced Pricing. The State will analyze all offers with separately priced line
items or subline items to determine if the prices are unbalanced. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total
evaluated price, the price of one or more line items is significantly over or understated. The responsible procurement officer
may reject an offer as unreasonably priced if she determines that unbalanced pricing increases performance risk (e.g., it is so
unbalanced as to be tantamount to allowing an advance payment) or could result in payment of unreasonably high prices.
