Page Limitation: As specified in L-317(b)(3)(E)

Offerors shall be required to demonstrate Technical and Management Capability both orally and in writing. This evaluation will involve an oral presentation as described in Paragraph (b)(3)(D) and a written submission as described in Paragraph (b)(3)(E) of this provision. The written submission will be incorporated into the contract.

(b) Format, Organization, and Content

(1) Format

(A) Each volume must contain sufficient information to permit a detailed evaluation. Data previously submitted, if any, will not be used in the evaluation of your response to this Request for Proposal. Previously submitted data shall not therefore be included in your proposal “by reference.”

(B) All pages shall be prepared using Times New Roman 12-point font, with the exception of tables, charts, graphs, and spreadsheets which shall be prepared using no smaller than Times New Roman 9-point font.

Standard margins shall be a minimum of one inch, excluding header and footer. Additionally, all pages shall be prepared using single spacing, single-sided, 8 ½” x11”sized paper. For charts only, fold-outs using 11” X 17” sized paper are allowed and shall be counted as one page. Offerors should assume the Government evaluators will be reviewing all submittals in a black and white format; therefore, offerors are responsible for ensuring the legibility of all tables, charts, etc., when printed/copied using black and white printers/copiers.

(C) No cost or pricing information shall be included in the technical proposal. Offers which do not present sufficient information to permit complete technical evaluation by the Government may be rejected. If proposal submissions contain assumptions and exceptions, the Government reserves the right to reject the proposal at its discretion.

(D) Proprietary data contained in the proposal shall be specifically identified.

(2) Organization

(A) The proposal shall be organized into the volumes, sections, and page limitations specified in L-

317(b)(3)(A).

(B) Pages shall be numbered consecutively within each section, showing volume, section, and page.

As an example, page 19 of Section B of Volume I would be numbered I-B-19.

(3) Content

(A) VOLUME I, WRITTEN CAPABILITY INFORMATION

(i) Section A, Relevant Organizational Experience: A maximum of fifty (50) pages are allowed for this section, however, the number of total pages allowed are determined by the number of Reference Information

Sheets submitted by the offeror. Offerors shall complete a separate Reference Information Sheet (RFP attachment

7) for each referenced contract identifying organizational experience similar to the requirements delineated in the

SOW for the key areas of the SOW listed below. Where a contract reference began prior to March 13, 2012, offerors shall specify in Attachment 7 the value of the work performed prior to, and after March 13, 2012. Offerors that fail to specify the value of work prior to and after March 13 2012, may be found to be Unacceptable, and may be removed from the competition. Where the contract reference is for a single, stand-alone task order(s) under an

IDIQ contract offerors shall identify the task order in Attachment 7 and Attachment 12. Where the contract reference is for an IDIQ contract, offerors shall identify the IDIQ contract as one reference in Attachment 7 and

Attachment 12. However, offerors shall identify only the experience for the value of the task order(s) under an IDIQ contract that are relevant to this procurement based on the key SOW areas listed below. Offerors shall only claim the value of an entire IDIQ contract if all of the task orders issued under the IDIQ contract are relevant to this procurement based on the key SOW areas listed below. Offerors claiming multiple task orders under an IDIQ contract shall also provide a separate sheet(s) (which will not count toward the page limitation) identifying the task order numbers and values for each relevant task order. In accordance with the instructions provided in Block 15 of the Reference Information Sheet (Attachment 7), additional pages (one side of a printed page is one page) may be submitted as follows:

A maximum of two (2) additional pages to address ship installation experience; and

A maximum of two (2) additional pages to address submarine installation experience.

A maximum of four (4) pages may be submitted in support of each Reference Information Sheet.

For the RIS and supporting pages, one (1) acronym list (not to be evaluated) of not more than one (1) page may be submitted and is not counted toward the page count requirement (no information on this page will be evaluated).

No more than ten (10) total Reference Information Sheets may be submitted per proposal. Including additional pages, a total of fifty (50) pages may be submitted. The same contract may be used to address more than one key area of the SOW; however, offerors shall not provide a consolidated response for multiple key areas of the SOW and shall clearly format their proposal to separate the discussion for each key area of the SOW identified below. In evaluating the capability of each offeror for each key area of the SOW, the Government will consider only the text designated in that section for that particular key area of the SOW. Offerors shall address each of the key areas of the

SOW. The key areas of the SOW are listed below in descending order based on the anticipated amount of work to be performed under the prospective contract:

KEY AREAS OF THE SOW

(A) Experience in SOW Para 3.4 *

(B) Experience in SOW Para 3.3 *

(C) Experience in SOW Para 3.5 *

*SOW Paragraph reference is inclusive of all subparagraphs.

Offerors shall complete RFP Attachment 12 “Gate Review Matrix” to provide the the “individual reference dollar amount” for each proposed reference. The “individual reference dollar amount” provided in the Gate Review

Matrix shall be the offeror’s most accurate and current measure of work performed to date on each proposed reference. Offerors shall utilize the following order of preference when determining the “individual reference dollar amount”: 1) Final amount invoiced; 2) Amount invoiced to date; 3) Amount funded; 4) Amount awarded. Offerors shall also complete RFP Attachment 12 to provide a summary dollar amount as the “current cumulative value” of all referenced contracts and/or task orders (if a task order is proposed as a single reference). Only one Matrix shall be completed per offeror. The matrix shall not exceed one page, and the number of referenced contracts/task orders shall not exceed the maximum of ten (10) references allowed per proposal. The matrix will not count against the page limitation for this volume. No additional information shall be included in the Gate Review Matrix. Any edits of the document will not be evaluated.

Each prime contractor shall also submit a copy of the teaming agreement(s) with each proposed subcontractor (large and small) claimed for this minimum gate requirement. The teaming agreement, at a minimum, shall include the signatures of both parties, the subcontract amount, the type of contract, and the period of performance. The teaming agreement(s) will not count against the page limitations for this volume.

If work other than ship and submarine C4ISR installation or other like shipboard and submarine electronic systems installation was also accomplished under the referenced contract, offerors shall not include the “other than” installation work in the dollar totals or claim it as relevant experience.

The Government reserves the right to contact references for verification or additional information. The Government will validate the claims of installation work where determined to be necessary. The Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure the problems it finds in the information provided by the Offeror. The burden of providing thorough and complete information remains with the Offeror.

(ii) Section B, Organizational Past Performance: Offerors shall provide information on no more than ten (10) previous Government contracts whose effort was relevant to the effort required by this solicitation; the contracts provided shall have been performed after 13 March 2012. If the Offeror has not had ten

(10) Government contracts for work performed after 13 March 2012, information on relevant subcontracts and/or commercial contracts may be submitted instead, however, the total number of submissions shall not exceed ten (10) references. This information shall be provided by the submission of Attachment 7 “Reference Information Sheet” for each contract. Offerors shall also include in this section the Individual Subcontracting Report/Summary

Subcontracting Report as requested in Block 14 of Attachment 7.

In addition to the information requested above, if CPARS information is not available, offerors shall contact their past performance references and request that each reference complete one (1) Attachment 9 “Past Performance

Questionnaire” (PPQ) and e-mail the completed survey form directly to chris.thompson1@navy.mil BEFORE THE

DUE DATE OF THIS SOLICITATION. If an offeror utilizes a PPQ for a specified reference, offerors shall identify in Attachment 7, block 16 that the offeror has sent a Past Performance Questionnaire to the reference point of contract. The Government may consider questionnaires received after the due date of the solicitation. The

Government reserves the right to contact references for verification or additional information.

The Government reserves the right to use past performance information obtained from sources other than those identified by the offeror. This past performance information will be used for the evaluation of past performance.

The Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure the problems it finds in the information provided by the Offeror. The burden of providing thorough and complete past performance information remains with the Offeror.

The Government will evaluate the RFP Attachment 7, Reference Information Sheet/past performance data for work performed after March 13, 2012, provided by offerors, and obtained from other sources against the criteria listed in

Section M.

For the RIS and supporting pages, one (1) acronym list (not to be evaluated) of not more than one (1) page may be submitted and is not counted toward the page count requirement (no information on this page will be evaluated).

Subcontractors are permitted to send CPARS and/or Individual Subcontracting Report (ISR) information directly to travis.cowsert@navy.mil and chris.thompson1@navy.mil. However, regardless of the separate submission of information by a subcontractor, offerors shall still be required to meet all submission requirements of the solicitation.

(iii) Section C, Extent of Participation of Small Business: All Prime offerors (Large AND

Small businesses) shall submit a completed RFP Attachment 8, Small Business Participation Data. Offerors will be evaluated on the extent of participation of small businesses in terms of the total acquisition value of this contract.

(See Provision M-307 for the minimum required ratio of Direct Labor to ODCs as it relates to the Minimum Gate criteria.) Small business primes are to include their own planned effort. In addition to RFP Attachment 8, each prime contractor (whether a small or large business) shall submit the cover sheet from each letter of commitment with each proposed small business subcontractor. The cover sheet(s) shall be signed by both parties, and shall provide the subcontract amount, and the amount of the subcontract allocated to Direct Labor and ODCs. Each letter of commitment shall detail the teaming agreement between the prime contractor and each proposed small business subcontractor, but only the signed cover sheet is required. The small business subcontracting plan, which is only required from large businesses, is a separate requirement and is in addition to the information required to evaluate this factor.

(B) VOLUME II, COST RELATED INFORMATION

(i) Section A, Ceiling Distribution Proposal: Offerors shall submit a completed RFP

Attachment 6, Ceiling Distribution Proposal. Attachment 6 shall be used by the offeror to annotate the distribution of ceiling amongst the prime and all subcontractors. Offerors shall identify the contract type for each subcontractor in Attachment 6. Offerors shall also provide the Oral Presenters in this section in accordance with the instructions in

L-317(b)(3)(D)(v).

(ii) Section B, Accounting Systems Information: In order to be issued a cost-reimbursement contract, as required by FAR 16.301-3, contractors must have an accounting system adequate for determining costs applicable to the contract. Offerors are required to provide the report(s) for the prime and any subcontractors that will utilize CPFF, FPIF, CPIF, or Cost-reimbursement pricing showing the Government’s determination of the offeror’s accounting system adequacy. For subcontractors that prefer to submit accounting system information directly to the Government (rather than to the prime), information may be submitted to Travis

Cowsert at travis.cowsert@navy.mil by the closing date and time specified in block 9 of page 1 of this solicitation. If unavailable, other information demonstrating an offeror’s accounting system being deemed adequate for accumulating cost type contracts may be submitted. All subcontractors with an accounting system that has not been deemed adequate by the Government shall be proposed as a FFP proposal. Any prime and/or subcontractors that will utilize CPFF, FPIF, CPIF, or Cost-reimbursement pricing, where the accounting system has not been deemed adequate by the Government for accumulating cost type contracts, may be considered only in the event the

Government determines that discussions are in the Government's best interest and only for those offerors determined to be in the competitive range. At such time, should discussions be required, offerors will be afforded the opportunity to comply with existing instructions or be eliminated from further consideration.

(C) VOLUME III, OFFEROR INFORMATION

This volume provides for all other miscellaneous contractual items delineated above in this provision under L-

317(a)(3). Offers must communicate the offeror’s unconditional agreement to the terms and conditions in this RFP, including any attachments and documents incorporated by reference. The Government’s acceptance of an offer creates a binding contract between the Government and the offeror. Failure or refusal to assent to any of the terms and conditions of this RFP, the imposition of additional conditions, or any material omission may constitute a deficiency which may render an offer unacceptable, and which may only be corrected through discussions (see FAR

15.306(d)).

(i) The Government intends to award a contract without discussions as permitted by FAR

15.306(a) and 52.215-1. Therefore, offerors are advised against submitting an offer which takes exception to any term or condition of this RFP or imposes any additional condition or omits any required information, without first consulting the Contracting Officer. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions and to permit offerors to revise their proposals if it is in the Government’s interests to do so.

(ii) Organization Conflict of Interest (OCI) Disclosure: Any contract resulting from this solicitation will provide for a full spectrum of C4ISR installation services for all afloat (surface ships, submarines, and special purpose craft worldwide) C4ISR and supporting systems, current and future, under the cognizance of

SPAWAR as provided in the Statement of Work (Attachment 3). Performing this effort may result in a potential

Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) as defined by FAR 2.101 and FAR 9.5. The term "contractor" means the contractor, its subsidiaries and affiliates, joint ventures involving the contractor, any entity with which the contractor may hereafter merge or affiliate, and any other successor of the contractor. Contactor support services for the

Global Installation Contract (GIC) are provided under various SPAWAR task orders and contracts. “Support

Services” are services provided to support and assist a program office or staff code with their acquisition responsibilities, including but not limited to, program management support services, preparing program budget submissions, business financial reporting or accounting services, data collection and reporting, general administration, performance and earned value monitoring; or advisory and assistance services including but not limited to consultant services, requirements analysis and planning, contract management, systems engineering and technical direction, logistics management, information technology management, test and evaluation, production and installation management. Companies providing contractor support services are involved in the development of or have access to information concerning installation requirements and related documentation for GIC, including procurement or other contractor sensitive information which could create an OCI or perceived OCI that cannot be mitigated. Due to the potential for OCIs created, companies providing related installation support services will not be permitted to participate as a team member on the GIC. Such participation could result in the exclusion of the company’s proposal, or the proposal of their prime contractor teammate, from task order competition.

The Contracting Officer has the sole authority to determine whether an organizational conflict of interest exists and whether it can be avoided or mitigated. It is the Government's policy to avoid, neutralize, or mitigate potential conflicts as early in the acquisition process as possible. All OCIs must be resolved (avoided, neutralized or mitigated) prior to award.

(a) ALL OFFERORS SHALL SUBMIT THE FOLLOWING, REGARDLESS OF

POTENTIAL OCI DETERMINATION: Offerors shall identify and describe any contractual support they or any affiliate, joint venture or subcontractor under this solicitation are presently providing to PEO C41, SPAWAR, SPAWAR Systems Center (SSC) Atlantic, SSC Pacific, or any other activity, where that support relates to C4I installation support services. The offeror shall include: (1) the name of the contractor, joint venture, affiliate, or subcontractor; (2) the contracting agency; (3) contract number; (4) a short description of the work; and (5) whether the offeror believes that the support results in an OCI. Offerors shall specifically address why they believes no OCI exists (if applicable).

(b) Offerors shall provide an OCI Disclosure Analysis to address the following, as applicable: (1) Whether by virtue of the contracts listed in response to section (a), the contractor has had access to non-public information that may provide an unfair advantage in competing for some or all of the proposed effort; or whether by virtue of the contracts listed in response to section (a), the contractor was in a position to set the ground rules for this solicitation, and thereby affect the competition.

(c) Whether by virtue of the contracts listed in response to section (a), the contractor will be in a situation of evaluating its own services if awarded a contract resulting from this solicitation. Offeror shall specifically address the situation where impaired objectivity arises because of the relationship between work previously awarded to the contract and work arising under this solicitation.

(d) How the contractor will identify and avoid actual or potential OCIs during performance.

(D) TECHNICAL AND MANAGEMENT CAPABILITY, ORAL PRESENTATION

(i) Schedule and Location for presentations. Oral presentations will be scheduled with offerors as soon as possible after the closing date for receipt of proposals. At a minimum, the offerors will be given two (2) weeks’ notice of the date for their presentations. The order in which offerors will make their presentations will be determined by a lottery performed by the Contracting Officer. Once notified of their scheduled presentation date and time, offerors shall complete their oral presentations on the scheduled date and time. Requests from offerors to reschedule their presentations will generally not be considered. Oral Presentations may be rescheduled as determined necessary at the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer. Offerors will make their oral presentations in person in the greater San Diego area at the location identified by the Government in the notification letter.

(ii) Content and Purpose of Oral presentation. At the date and time scheduled for the oral presentation, offerors will be provided written questions. The questions will address both general and specific facets of surface ships and/or submarine installations and may address all collectively. Offerors shall be prepared to address questions related to technical and management aspects such as quality and cost controls, management of personnel and schedules, retention, attrition, and the execution of installations. The questions and offeror responses are intended to provide the Government a thorough understanding of the depth and breadth of the offeror’s technical and management capability applicable to the installation services being procured under this solicitation. Offerors shall present information that clearly demonstrates its knowledge and understanding of the technical requirements of the solicitation’s Statement of Work (SOW), as well as the technical issues, problems, challenges and possible solutions associated with the envisioned work.

(iii) Time allotted for Oral Presentations. Each oral presentation is expected to last no more than approximately six (6) six hours. Offerors will have three (3) uninterrupted hours to conduct a preparation session for their oral presentation. Offerors will be provided a maximum of ten (10) minutes to introduce their presentation team members (name, position, and company affiliation). This introduction will not be evaluated by the Government, and will take place prior to the oral presentation.

(End of provision)

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

M-307 EVALUATION CRITERIA AND BASIS FOR AWARD (BEST VALUE) (DEC 1999)--ALTERNATE I

(JAN 2004)

(a) The Government intends to make a contract award to each and all qualifying offerors. “Qualifying offeror” is defined as an offeror that is determined to be a responsible source, submits a technically acceptable proposal that conforms to the requirements of the solicitation, and the contracting officer has no reason to believe would be likely to offer other than fair and reasonable pricing. While the Government will strive for maximum objectivity, the source selection process, by its nature, is subjective; and therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire process.

(b) The Government intends to competitively award multiple Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts utilizing the process of evaluation and evaluation criteria described herein. In accordance with Class

Deviation 2018-O0006, which implements Section 825 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for

Fiscal Year 2017, the Government will not evaluate cost or price for the IDIQ contract. Cost or price to the

Government will be considered in conjunction with the issuance of a task or delivery order under any contract awarded hereunder.

(c) Merits of the Offer: The Government will determine the merits of each offer on the basis of acceptability. The acceptability determination will be made prior to evaluation of the evaluation factors. Proposals determined to be unacceptable will not be further evaluated.

(1) The Government will determine the acceptability of each offer, on a pass or fail basis, by evaluating the consistency of the offeror’s proposal with the terms and conditions of the RFP. Additionally, the offeror shall meet the “Minimum Gate” requirements for “Relevant Organizational Experience” and “Extent of Participation of Small

Business” listed below in order to be determined acceptable. An offer will be determined to be acceptable when it meets the requirements for “Relevant Organizational Experience” and “Extent of Participation of Small Business” and manifests the offeror’s agreement, without exception or imposition of additional conditions, to the terms and conditions of the RFP, including all attachments and documents incorporated by reference. An offeror’s failure or refusal to consent to any of the terms and conditions of the RFP, imposition of additional conditions, or any material omission may constitute a deficiency which may render the offer unacceptable. An offeror’s failure or refusal to meet the requirements for “Relevant Organizational Experience” or “Extent of Participation of Small Business” may constitute a deficiency which may render the offer unacceptable. If an offer is determined unacceptable, the proposal will not be further evaluated. The Government reserves the right to enter discussions at any time during the evaluation. However, if at any point in the evaluation the “Minimum Gate” requirement is determined to be “not met” (to include discussions as prescribed in Provision L-317(b)(3)(C)), offerors will be notified timely, and the proposal will be removed from further consideration; no further evaluation will be performed. Any proposal determined to have an unmitigated organizational conflict of interest (OCI) pertaining to the prime or any of the proposed subcontractors may be removed from further consideration for award at any point during the evaluation.

(2) MINIMUM GATE REQUIREMENT: RELEVANT ORGANIZATIONAL EXPERIENCE

This acceptability criteria is an evaluation of the offeror’s organizational experience relevant to the kinds of challenges in size and scope under the contract contemplated by this RFP. This evaluation will consider whether the offeror’s proposal meets the minimum requirements for relevant organizational experience listed below. “Offerors” are considered to be inclusive of the prime and all subcontractors that are submitted in the “offer” or proposal.

Offerors must meet all four of the following minimum requirements in order to be determined acceptable:

(i) Offerors shall demonstrate relevant organizational experience (ROE) in performing on-site work in all three of the below key SOW areas. The key SOW areas are listed in descending order based on the anticipated amount of work to be performed under the prospective contract:

(A) Experience in SOW Para 3.4 (inclusive of all subparagraphs)

(B) Experience in SOW Para 3.3 (inclusive of all subparagraphs)

(C) Experience in SOW Para 3.5 (inclusive of all subparagraphs)

Program Office Support Services experience for the work under the key areas of the SOW will not be considered acceptable, and will not count towards the cumulative value of installation experience.

The Government will evaluate each individual reference in the offeror’s proposal by comparing the reference information sheets and supporting information to the key SOW areas above to determine if the effort described constitutes ROE.

Based on an evaluation of the totality of the information provided in the offeror’s proposal, the Government will determine whether the offeror has met this minimum requirement by sufficiently demonstrating ROE as specified above. Note: The Government will consider the references in the aggregate in determining whether this minimum requirement has been met.

(ii) Offerors shall demonstrate relevant organizational experience in the form of ship and submarine C4ISR or other like shipboard and submarine electronic systems installation experience.

The Government will evaluate each individual reference in the offeror’s proposal to determine if the experience is ship and submarine C4ISR or other like shipboard and submarine electronic systems installation experience.

Based on an evaluation of the totality of the information provided in the offeror’s proposal, the Government will determine whether the offeror has met this minimum requirement by sufficiently demonstrating ROE as specified above. Note: The Government will consider the references in the aggregate in determining whether this minimum requirement has been met.

(iii) Offerors’ provided relevant organizational experience must take place after March 13, 2012.

The Government will evaluate the offeror’s proposal by validating the information provided in the proposal for each reference. Based on its review of the information provided, the Government will determine whether the offeror has sufficiently demonstrated compliance with this minimum requirement.

(iv) Offerors shall demonstrate a current cumulative value of prime and subcontractor relevant organizational experience for shipboard and submarine installation work that is equal to or exceeds the following:

(A) $95 million of shipboard installation work; and

(B) $30 million of submarine installation work

The Government will evaluate each individual reference in the offeror’s proposal by considering the “individual reference dollar amount” based on the instructions provided in L-317(b)(3)(A)(i).

After evaluating all of an offeror’s references, the Government will determine whether the offeror has sufficiently demonstrated ROE with a current cumulative value that is equal to or exceeds the thresholds for shipboard and submarine installation work above. Based on its review of all proposal information provided, the Government will determine whether the offeror has sufficiently demonstrated compliance with this minimum requirement.

Subcontractors may be used for the purposes of meeting the relevant organizational experience thresholds specified above only where the offeror proposes a subcontractor for this contract at a value equal to or greater than the referenced relevant organizational experience value for that same subcontractor in Attachment 6 and the proposed cover sheet(s) of the letters of commitment.

If an offeror fails to follow the submission instructions section L-317(b)(3)(A)(i), the Government may remove the entire value of the reference from consideration for this gate requirement. If the value of a reference is removed and the proposed value of relevant organizational experience no longer exceeds the thresholds specified above, the offeror will be evaluated as failing to meet the requirements for “Relevant Organizational Experience” in accordance with M-307(c)(1).

(3) MINIMUM GATE REQUIREMENT: EXTENT OF PARTICIPATION OF SMALL BUSINESS

(i) This acceptability criteria is an evaluation of the proposed participation of small business concerns

(whether as a prime or subcontractor) in terms of the total acquisition value. For purposes of acceptability, the extent of participation of small business shall be at least ten (10) percent of the total acquisition value. Of the proposed ten (10) percent, at least five (5) percent of the total acquisition value shall be attributable to direct labor hours. Acceptability of an offer will be evaluated by reviewing information provided under RFP Attachment 8 and the proposed cover sheet(s) of the letters of commitment. ALL prime contractors (both large and small business) are required to complete RFP Attachment 8.

(ii) It should be noted that Evaluation Factor 3 as detailed below is a separate review of the Extent of

Participation of Small Business. This acceptability requirement is a minimum requirement for further consideration of the proposal. The completed RFP Attachment 8 submittal will be used to evaluate both this acceptability determination and Evaluation Factor 3.

(iii) If at any time prior to award the proposed ceiling distribution amounts or a proposed subcontractor ceiling distribution amount is determined to be calculated incorrectly, such that an offeror is determined to have not met the Minimum Gate requirement for Extent of Participation of Small Business, the offer may be excluded from further consideration. Therefore, it is incumbent upon the offeror to ensure calculations for meeting the Minimum Gate requirement are correct prior to submitting the offer. For the purposes of acceptability, it is incumbent upon the offeror to validate each subcontractor’s small business size determination and identify the

NAICS code for which the subcontractor is identifying as a small business.

(d) The evaluation factors listed below are in descending order of importance.

Factor 1: Technical and Management Capability

Factor 2: Organizational Past Performance

Factor 3: Extent of Participation of Small Business

Factor (1) is significantly more important than Factor (2). Factor (2) is more important than Factor (3).

Under each evaluation factor, specified individual evaluation sub-factors are weighted equally.

(1) FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL AND MANAGEMENT CAPABILITY

This evaluation factor involves a written submission and an oral…
