ADJECTIVAL RATINGS

Table 1. Technical Evaluation adjectival ratings are described in the table below:

ADJECTIVAL

RATING

DEFINITION

Excellent A proposal that satisfies all of the Government’s requirements with extensive detail to indicate feasibility of the approach and shows a thorough understanding of the problems and offers numerous significant strengths, which are not offset by weaknesses, with an overall low degree of risk in meeting the Government’s requirements.

Good A proposal that satisfies all of the Government’s requirements with adequate detail to indicate feasibility of the approach and shows an understanding of the problems and offers some significant strengths or numerous minor strengths, which are not offset by weaknesses, with an overall low to moderate degree of risk in meeting the Government’s requirements.

Acceptable A proposal that satisfies all of the Government’s requirements with minimal detail to indicate feasibility of the approach and shows a minimal understanding of the problems, with an overall moderate to high degree of risk in meeting the Government’s requirements.

Marginal A proposal that satisfies all of the Government’s requirements with minimum detail to indicate feasibility of approach and shows a minimal understanding of the problem with an overall high degree of risk in meeting the Government’s requirement.

Unacceptable A proposal that contains a major error(s), omission(s) or deficiency(ies) that indicates a lack of understanding of the problems or an approach that cannot be expected to meet requirements or involves a very high risk; and none of these conditions can be corrected without a major rewrite or revision of the proposal.

Table 2. Past Performance evaluation adjectival ratings are described in the table below:

ADJECTIVAL

RATING

DESCRIPTION

Low Risk

Little doubt exists, based on the Offeror's performance record, that the Offeror can perform the proposed effort.

Moderate Risk

Some doubt exists, based on the Offeror's performance record, that the Offeror can perform the proposed effort.

High Risk Significant doubt exists, based on the Offeror's performance record, that the Offeror can perform the proposed effort.

Unknown Risk/Neutral

Little or no relevant performance record identified equates to a neutral rating having no positive or negative evaluation significance.

****Note: For Past Performance, a Neutral rating may be assigned in the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available.****
