The offeror shall address the following elements to prove technical acceptability:
Element 1: Management/Administration – The Government will evaluate the management/administration approach with consideration of the staffing mix and resource allocation (including any subcontractors).

If the offeror proposes greater than the minimum staffing from that listed, the Government will review the detailed information provided to ascertain if the alternative proposed staffing is sufficient in labor mix and labor hours per classification to meet the requirements of the PWS, based on Government’s assessment of the work requirement.
Element 3: Experience – The Government will evaluated the offeror’s experience in projects of similar magnitude.
Offeror shall demonstrate practical experience in management and operations of an administrative services program across a large geographical footprint. Magnitude is defined as, number of performance locations =>100 locations;

Reasonableness is defined as, a price is reasonable if, in its nature and amount it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business.
