About this file
The document is an evaluation criteria document for the Platform One Solutions Marketplace (P1SM) version 1.0, detailing a comprehensive assessment framework for vendor submissions. The evaluation criteria are divided into five primary categories with specific weightings: Problem You Solve (10%), Solution (35%), DoD Impact (15%), Differentiation (25%), and Pricing Model (10%), with an additional 5% for Pitch Quality.
Each category contains multiple subcategories evaluated across four performance levels: Unsatisfactory, Marginal, Satisfactory, and Superior. Key evaluation dimensions include solution description, alignment with strategic focus areas, scientific feasibility, operational impact, potential scale of impact, technological differentiation, alternative approach analysis, business model definition, and data quality. Vendors are expected to provide clear, persuasive submissions demonstrating innovative solutions with meaningful DoD impact, supported by credible scientific foundations and compelling business models. The assessment prioritizes solutions that offer radical improvements over existing technological approaches and can potentially scale across the entire Department of Defense.

Platform One Solutions Marketplace v1-0 Evaluation Criteria Defined
DEFINITION
PROBLEM YOU SOLVE weight 10% Deliver a clear and concise description of the problem you are attempting to address with your technology or service.
SOLUTION
SOLUTION
DESCRIPTION
Fully describe what you are offering in your solution and describe the scientific basis for the solution and how it solves the problem statement identified.
ALIGNMENT WITH
STRATEGIC FOCUS
AREA
How well does your Solution map to our published Strategic Focus Area? Argue the problem you've chosen is a perfect fit with the problems for this program.
SCIENTIFIC FEASIBILITY
Is the science behind the innovation sound? Why should a skeptic believe that your approach is built upon a firm scientific foundation?
weight 35%
ENABLING
TECHNOLOGIES
Do the required enabling technologies introduce added risk? Using proven underlying technologies and techniques helps to lower technical risk.
DOD IMPACT OPERATIONAL IMPACT
Looking only at the DoD personnel who will be impacted by your solution, argue that their mission or effectiveness will be significantly improved if your solution is adopted. What is the impact of your solution vs. today's solution in the context of a single individual’s work role and responsibilities?
weight 15%
POTENTIAL SCALE OF
IMPACT
Look into the future to a time when your solution is both technically mature and fully "transitioned" (actively in use by DoD.) Describe the scale of your impact within the context of the DoD.
DIFFERENTIATION DIFFERENTIATION
In what ways does your proposed solution introduce innovations that significantly enhance the DoD's capabilities? (Innovation is as defined in DFARS 212.7001) weight 25%
ALTERNATIVE
TECHNICAL
APPROACHES
Why is your approach is the best from a technical perspective? If you can convincingly refute alternative means to solving this problem, please briefly do so.
PRICING MODEL
BUSINESS MODEL
DEFINITION
Describe how you will make money from your solution. Although we are NOT asking you to provide specifics on prices, we need to understand how you plan to capture revenue moving forward. For example, are you selling software licenses, tokens for compute services, engineering services, training and support, something else? Tell us about your revenue model.
weight 10%
BUSINESS MODEL
VALIDATION
Make the case that your business model is working or will work for your business. To what evidence can you point that your strategy to monetize your solution is viable with commercial and/or Government buyers.
PITCH QUALITY PITCH QUALITY
We don't care about video production quality. We care about your ability to communicate about your innovation and the impact you believe it will have. (Amateur videos shot on your smart phone are fine. Do make sure the audio is clear and easily understood. Practice and/or multiple takes are recommended.)
weight 5%
DATA QUALITY &
ATTRIBUTION
Support your arguments with relevant, properly attributed data to enhance your credibility.
