V. White Paper / Proposal Review Information: The following is the evaluation criteria that will be used for this call.
1. FIRST STEP – White Paper Peer or Scientific Review Criteria: The Government will review white papers to determine which of them have the potential to best meet the Air Force’s needs based on the following criteria, which are listed in descending order of importance:
a. Unique and innovative approach proposed to accomplish the technical objectives. New and creative solutions and/or advances in knowledge, understanding, technology, and the state of the art.
b. The offeror’s understanding of the scope of the technical effort.
c. Soundness of the offeror’s technical approach.
d. Affordability (Proposed ROM Cost Estimate)
2. SECOND STEP – Proposal Peer or Scientific Review Criteria: Proposals will be reviewed against the criteria listed below. The technical aspect, which is ranked as the first order of priority, shall be reviewed based on the following criteria that are of descending order of importance.
a. Technical:
i. Unique and innovative approach proposed to accomplish the technical objectives. New and creative solutions and/or advances in knowledge, understanding, technology, and the state of the art,
ii. The offeror’s understanding of the scope of the technical effort.
iii. Soundness of the offeror’s technical approach including whether the proposal identifies major technical risks, clearly defines feasible mitigation efforts, and demonstrates related experience and qualifications of technical personnel.
iv. The potential to transition the research and development deliverables to future Government needs. Any proposed restriction on technical data or computer software will be considered.
b. Cost/Price: The cost/price criterion includes the realism of the proposed cost. Cost/Price is a substantial factor, but ranked as the second order of priority. (If an offeror proposes the use of GFP other than any GFP identified in this BAA, and that proposed GFP provides the offeror an unfair competitive advantage, then FAR 45.202 requires rental equivalent be applied to the Cost Factor for evaluation purposes only).
3. SECOND STEP /PROPOSAL - Review and Selection Process
a. Categories: As described in Initial BAA Announcement FA8650-17-S-6001, Section IV. 2. C., proposals will be categorized as Highly Recommended, Selectable, or Not Selectable. The categories are described as follows:
i. Highly Recommended: Proposals are recommended for acceptance if sufficient funding is available, and normally are displaced only by other Highly Recommended proposals.
ii. Selectable: Proposals are recommended for acceptance if sufficient funding is available, but at a lower priority than Highly Recommended Proposals. May require additional development. To ensure a diversity of approaches, a Selectable proposal may be prioritized over a Highly Recommended proposal if the Selectable proposal presents a unique approach unlike any of the Highly Recommended proposals.
iii. Not Selectable: Even if sufficient funding existed, the proposal should not be funded.
Note: The Government reserves the right to award some, all, or none of the proposals. When the Government elects to award only a part of a proposal, the selected part may be categorized as Highly Recommended or Selectable, though the proposal as a whole may not merit such a categorization.
b. No other criteria will be used.
c. Prior to award of a potentially successful offer, the Contracting Officer will make a determination regarding price reasonableness.
