The technical proposal should include all information the offeror wants the Government to consider and evaluate regarding its company’s ability to perform all required tasks and conform to all required terms and conditions. In order to be eligible for award, the contractor’s proposal must sufficiently address all aspects of the PWS.

The Government reserves the right, but is not obligated, to conduct a realism analysis. With regard to the best value analysis for the award decision, the below evaluation factors and subfactors will be used in the trade off analysis. Section 508 Accessibility Standards do apply to this requirement. Section 508 requirements are listed in the PWS. Compliance with Section 508 standards will be considered prior to evaluating any of the selection criteria listed below. Any proposal failing to meet the Section 508 Accessibility Standards, as listed in the PWS, shall be eliminated from consideration for award.

b. The standards for evaluating the below factors are contained in the attached Evaluation

Tables included in this RFP (Attachment 2). Proposals which are rated “Red/Unacceptable” in any area may be excluded from further consideration.

Page limitations are identified below under each evaluation factor and will be treated as maximums. If exceeded, excess pages will not be read or considered in evaluation of the proposal. The following items will not be considered when calculating page limits: cover page, table of contents, glossary, executive summary, generic resumes, past performances, OCCI mitigation plans, and Section 508 compliance.
