Factor 1 – Corporate Experience Factor 2 – Technical and Management Approach Factor 3 – Safety Factor 4 – Past Performance

An overall non-price factors rating must be at least “ACCEPTABLE” in order to be eligible for award.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. In addition, if the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.
