EVALUATION CRITERIA

12/5/23

The technical evaluation team will review the packages submitted by the offerors. The Specification provided to the offerors will form the basis for the evaluation. Listed below are the various criteria for the evaluation of the bid packages.

This document contains evaluation criteria that are intended to assist in judging the adequacy of responses to the Small Fast Detector for 33-ID PtychoProbe. Technical Specification in the SOW indicates the minimum requirements in order to meet the evaluation criteria listed below.

1 TECHNICAL EVALUATION CRITERIA

For proposal evaluation against Technical Specifications, the Offeror shall provide as part of their response a description of the system design and any hardware and software components.

Evaluation criteria are listed in order of importance:

No. Criterion

1. The proposal meets all technical specifications as detailed in the SOW

2. Has the offeror made an adequate case to justify their ability to meet the technical specification and requirements listed in SOW?

3. Has the offeror made an adequate case to justify their ability to meet the schedule requirements?

4.

Has the offeror made an adequate case that they will provide all required documentation (FAT, Testing procedure and operational manuals…etc.) as listed in documentation section of SOW?

5. Has the offeror made an adequate case to justify their ability to pass all installation and acceptance tests?

6. Does the offeror have enough track records to manufacture the detector with similar technical specifications?

ALL EVALUATION FACTORS, OTHER THAN COST OR PRICE, WHEN COMBINED,

ARE a. SIGNIFICANTLY MORE IMPORTANT THAN COST OR PRICE.

b. APPROXIMATELY EQUAL TO COST OR PRICE.

c. SIGNIFICANTLY LESS IMPORTANT THAN COST OR PRICE

2 PAST PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
