The purpose of Amendment 0003 is to change the adjectival rating definition of “Acceptable”

From:

Proposal does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal contains a combination of significant weaknesses and/or a deficiency that could be made acceptable through negotiation. Risk of unsuccessful performance is moderate to high.

To:

Proposal meets requirements and demonstrates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Proposal offers some strengths that will be advantageous to the Government during contract performance. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting, or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.

The new adjectival rating chart should read as follows:

The following ratings will be used to evaluate each of the above evaluation criteria/factors for Technical Approach and Management Plan.

OUTSTANDING: Proposal meets requirements and demonstrates and exceptional approach and understanding of the requirement and offers many significant strengths that exceed the requirements and are highly beneficial to the Government. Strengths significantly outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low.

GOOD: Proposal meets requirements and demonstrates a thorough approach and understand of the requirements. Proposal contains some significant strengths that are highly beneficial to the Government. Strengths outweigh any weak. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

ACCEPTABLE: Proposal meets requirements and demonstrates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Proposal offers some strengths that will be advantageous to the Government during contract performance. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting, or will have little or no impact on contract performance.

Risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.

MARGINAL: Proposal does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal contains a combination of significant weaknesses and/or a deficiency that could be made acceptable through negotiation. Risk of unsuccessful performance is moderate to high.

UNACCEPTABLE: Proposal fails to meet requirements and contains multiple significant weaknesses and/or deficiencies. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very high. Proposals with unacceptable ratings are not eligible for contract award.

This Amendment (0003) reflects an administrative change and the Contractor is not required to sign and return to the issuing officer.
