Probability of success is questionable with an unacceptably high degree of risk in meeting the Government’s requirements.

Neutral No current and/or relevant performance record is identifiable upon which to base a meaningful performance risk prediction. A search was unable to identify any relevant Past Performance information for the offeror or key team member/subcontractors or their key personnel. This is neither a negative or positive assessment. Unknown.

(ii) Price Evaluation:

The Government evaluation team will conduct a Price evaluation of each offeror’s Price proposal to determine whether or not each proposal complies with the stated criteria:
