About this file

This document is a Digital Maturity Self-Score Matrix for the Agile Digital Experience Product Transformation (ADEPT) solicitation (BPM044685). It serves as a technical qualification and corporate qualification scoring appendix for state and local contract evaluation purposes. The matrix is designed to assess offeror capabilities across multiple dimensions of digital maturity and organizational readiness.

The scoring matrix consists of two primary sections: Technical Qualifications (Dimension 1) and Corporate Qualifications (Dimension 2). Technical qualifications evaluate seven competency areas including Agile/Iterative Development, Human-Centered Design, DevOps, Security, Accessibility, Technical Proficiency, and Digital Service Playbook knowledge. Corporate qualifications assess seven organizational dimensions including Corporate Culture, Hiring Practices, Knowledge Sharing & Mentorship, Inclusive Work Environment, Equitable Opportunities, Partnering, and Digital Service Advocacy. Each competency is scored on a three-level scale, with Level 1 representing limited understanding, Level 2 representing compliance with general standards, and Level 3 representing comprehensive and proactive application. Offerors receive points equal to the level selected (one point for Level 1, two points for Level 2, three points for Level 3), with supporting artifacts required for technical qualifications but not mandated for corporate qualifications at the proposal stage. The maximum possible score is calculated by totaling points from both technical and corporate qualification sections.
