Evaluation Criteria

National Acquisitions Section

The Bureau will evaluate each offer based on the best value, trade-off process as outlined in the Federal Acquisition

Regulations, part 15.101-1- Tradeoff Process. All evaluation factors and sub-factors other than price, when combined, are significantly more important than price. Evaluations will note the strengths, deficiencies, weaknesses (to include significant weaknesses) and risks of each proposal, in a summary format with supporting narrative

Definitions.

Strength is an aspect of the proposal that increases the likelihood of successful contract performance.

Deficiency is a material failure of a proposal to meet a

Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level.

A weakness is a flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. A “significant weakness” in the proposal is a flaw that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

A Risk is a potential to cause disruption of schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance.

Factor 2: Past Performance

Recent and relevant past performance will be evaluated on its performance under existing and prior contracts for similar services, with an emphasis on the similarity of the Offeror’s experience to the Request for Proposal (RFP). The purpose of
