1. Technical
2. Past Performance
3. Management
4. Cost/Price
Technical and past performance, when combined, are approximately greater than price.
Factor 1. Technical:
The contractor shall provide a technical description that clearly states how the Government’s requirements contained within the Statement of Work will be met. This description should address any and all certifications, licensure, staffing, training, and methodology needed for completion of work.
2.3 Technical Confidence Rating:
Confidence Rating Definition High Confidence (Low Risk)
The Government has high confidence the vendor understands the requirement, proposes a sound approach, and will be successful in performing the contract with little or no Government intervention.
Some Confidence (Moderate Risk)
The Government has some confidence the vendor understands the requirement, proposes a sound approach, and will be successful in performing the contract with some Government intervention.
Low Confidence (High Risk)
The Government has low confidence the vendor understands the requirement, proposes a sound approach, or will be successful in performing the contract even with Government intervention.

2.5 Performance Confidence Assessment:
Rating Description Substantial Confidence Based on the offeror’s performance record, the government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.
Satisfactory Confidence Based on the offeror’s performance record, the government has an expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.
Limited Confidence Based on the offeror’s performance record, the government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.
No Confidence Based on the offeror’s performance record, the government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.
Unknown Confidence No performance record is identifiable, or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.
Factor 3. Management:
That contractor shall provide a management description that details their ability to manage and balance technical performance, time constraints, and the management of subcontractor personnel, if applicable.
All subcontracted tasks should be stated with a description of how subcontracted work will be monitored.
2.2 Adjectival Ratings:
Adjectival Rating Definition Exceptional Quote/Offer contains no deficiencies and fully addresses all aspects of the criteria and demonstrates an excellent approach/solution and understanding of the requirements. Many strengths exist, far outweighing any weaknesses. The highest quality of contract performance is anticipated with very low risk.
Very Good Quote/Offer contains no deficiencies; fully addresses all aspects of the criteria and demonstrates a very effective approach/solution and understanding of the requirements. Some weaknesses may exist; however, the weaknesses, if any, are outweighed by strengths. A high quality of contract performance is anticipated with low risk.
Satisfactory Quote/Offer contains no deficiencies; addresses all aspects of the criteria and demonstrates an adequate approach/solution and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. A quality contract performance is anticipated with an acceptable amount of risk.
Adjectival Rating Definition Marginal Quote/Offer may contain deficiencies; fails to address all of the criteria and does not demonstrate an adequate approach/solution or understanding of the requirements. One or more weaknesses exist which are not offset by strengths. Contract performance is anticipated with high risk.
Unsatisfactory Quote/Offer contains many deficiencies and does not address all aspects of the criteria and/or does not present evidence demonstrating an adequate approach/solution and understanding of the requirements. Many weaknesses and/or omissions exist creating an unacceptable risk.
Factor 4. Cost/Price:
The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s firm fixed price quote for price reasonableness. Price reasonableness will be established by competition and determined primarily by comparison with other offers submitted. The proposed quote will also be compared with the Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE).
2.6 Quote Metrics:
(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).
(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
52.237-1 Site Visit (APR 1984)
Offerors or quoters are urged and expected to inspect the site where services are to be performed and to satisfy themselves regarding all general and local conditions that may affect the cost of contract performance, to the extent that the information is reasonably obtainable. In no event shall failure to inspect the site constitute grounds for a claim after contract award.
Rating Definition Strength A significant, outstanding, or exceptionally positive aspect of a Quote/Offer.
Weakness Any aspect of a Quote/Offer increasing the potential for problems and issues with regard to contract performance. The Quote/Offer provides a minimally acceptable response to the Government’s requirements.
