SAP Evaluation Process Each rating should be supported by any identified strengths or weaknesses found in the quote. A strength is defined as an aspect of the quote that increases the likelihood of successful contract performance. A weakness is defined as a flaw in the quote that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

Table 1- Technical Factor Ratings Rating Description Outstanding Quote demonstrates thorough and detailed understanding of requirements. Quote offers one or more strengths with no weaknesses and represents a strong probability of success.

Good Quote demonstrates good understanding of requirements. Quote offers one or more strengths and one or more weaknesses. Strengths outweigh any weaknesses. The quote represents a strong probability of success.

Acceptable Quote demonstrates acceptable understanding of requirements. Quote offers few weaknesses that are offset by strengths. The quote represents a reasonable probability of success.

Marginal Quote demonstrates a limited understanding of requirements. Quote contains weaknesses and offers no strengths, or, if there are any strengths, these strengths are outweighed by weaknesses.

Unacceptable Quote fails to meet the requirements. Quote contains major errors, omissions, significant weaknesses. The quote represents a very low probability of success.

Table-2. Past Performance Ratings Rating Description Outstanding Based on the quoter’s recent/relevant past performance information, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.
