Program Risks/Issues Trained/Qualified Workforce

If the contractor fails to provide and retain trained/qualified personnel, adequate staffing levels and the proper functional skill mix, then contract performance thresholds and requirements may not be met, resulting in negative impact to mission success. Control

Contractor required to provide an acceptable human resources plan to attract, train, and retain qualified management and technical personnel. The plan includes work force manning levels by functional level and skill mix. The approach will be evaluated during source selection.

Evaluation Methodology (cont.)

Technical Assessment Finding Definitions Meets: Explanation of how the proposal meets the requirement Strength: An aspect of an offeror’s proposal that has merit or exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be advantageous to the Government during contract performance.

Deficiency: 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.

Significant Weakness: A flaw in the proposal that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

Weakness: A flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance

Technical/Risk Subfactor Ratings

ColorRatingDescription
BlueOutstandingProposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.
PurpleGoodProposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.
GreenAcceptableProposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.
YellowMarginal
Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.
RedUnacceptableProposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation, and thus, contains one or more deficiencies, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable. Proposal is unawardable.

Technical Subfactor Risk Assessment Ratings

RatingDescription
LowProposal may contain weakness(es) which have little potential to cause disruption of schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance. Normal contractor effort and normal Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome any difficulties.
ModerateProposal contains a significant weakness or combination of weaknesses which may potentially cause disruption of schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance. Special contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome difficulties.
HighProposal contains a significant weakness or combination of weaknesses which is likely to cause significant disruption of schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance. Is unlikely to overcome any difficulties, even with special contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring.
UnacceptableProposal contains a material failure or a combination of significant weaknesses that increases the risk of unsuccessful performance to an unacceptable level.

Conducting price analysis to determine Reasonableness Price must represent to gov’t what a prudent person would pay when consideration is given to market prices Usually based on Adequate Price Competition (2 or more offerors) Balance Unbalanced pricing exists when price of one or more CLINs is significantly overstated (despite acceptable total evaluated price) Realism Evaluating proposed price/costs to ensure they are realistic for the work to be performed, reflect a clear understanding of the requirement, and are consistent with the offeror’s technical proposal The price of each offeror will be evaluated on the total, overall evaluated price, which consists of the total proposed price (FP and CR CLINS) of the transition period, base contract period, optional CLINs, and all optional contract periods (to include a six-month extension of services IAW FAR 52.217-8)

Factor 2 - Price

Offerors authorized to submit references on themselves, joint venture/teaming partners, and subcontractors (Total possible: a minimum of three (3) and a maximum of six (6) references) References (aka Past Performance Information (PPI)) are used to evaluate past performance Three components of evaluation Recency Demonstrated performance (min 12 months) during the last 3 years from date the solicitation was issued
