Factor 2: Past Performance

Factor 3: Price

(2) As a basis for award, trade-offs between non-price factors are permitted.

B. Award for All of the Work

The Government intends to award a single no-cost agreement as a result of this solicitation. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a no-cost agreement without negotiation. Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct negotiations if the contracting officer determines them to be necessary. In the event that negotiations are held, a competitive range determination will be made. If the contracting officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the contracting officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

C. Evaluation Criteria

(1) Evaluation criteria consist of factors and subfactors. The proposals will be evaluated under the three (3) evaluation factors: Technical Capability, Past Performance, and Price.

(2) Relative Importance of Factors and Subfactors. The relative importance of each factor and subfactor is as follows:

All subfactors are determined to be critical and order of importance is provided below. An unacceptable rating in any subfactor will automatically carry forward to the factor rating.

Technical Capability is significantly more important than Past Performance or Price. Within the Technical Capability Factor, subfactor 1 is the most important. Subfactors 2 and 3 are equal, and are significantly more important than subfactors 4 and 5. Subfactors 4 and 5 are equal. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than "Acceptable" must be achieved for the Technical Capability Factor and all technical subfactors.

D. Evaluation Approach.

Evaluation criteria consist of three factors. The Government will evaluate whether the offeror's approach to the cited factor is the same in size, scope, and complexity to the nature of work. Evaluation criteria are used for measuring how well each offeror's approach meets the requirements of the solicitation requirements. Award will be made to the offeror who proposes the best value to the Government using trade-offs between non-price factors and rates. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than "Acceptable" must be achieved for the Technical Factor and a Performance Assessment Rating of at least the following: Relevancy: "Relevant" and Confidence: "Satisfactory."

Factor 1: Technical Capability

Subfactor 1: Program Management and Strategic Planning

Proposal that is determined to be most beneficial to the Government, with appropriate consideration given to the three evaluation factors as follows: Technical Capability, Past Performance, and Price. Technical is significantly more important than Past Performance and Price. Past Performance is more important than Price. All subfactors are determined to be critical. An unacceptable rating in any subfactor will automatically carry forward to the facto rating. In evaluation the five subfactors within the Technical Capability factor, the order of consideration is as follows: subfactor 1 - Program Management and Strategic is the most important. Subfactors 2 - Licensee Planning Acquisition and Licensee Management and 3 - Financial Management and Royalty

c. Each technical capability subfactor will receive one of the adjectival ratings defined below, and then there will be an overall roll-up adjectival rating at the factor level. Technical Rating is used to portray the evaluation of strength and weaknesses in the Offerors' proposals. As these ratings and descriptions are broad, evaluators and selection officials may exercise their best judgment to assess the most appropriate rating or combination of ratings when no description is exactly applicable.

Adjectival Definition

Outstanding Proposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal contains multiple strengths and no deficiencies.

Good Proposal meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal contains at least one strengths and no deficiencies.

Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal has no strengths or deficiencies.

Marginal Proposal does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements.

The proposal contains multiple strengths and no deficiencies.

d. Technical Risk Rating. Assessment of technical risk, which is manifested by the identification of weakness(es), considers potential for disruption of schedule, degradation of performance, the need for increased Government oversight, or the likelihood of unsuccessful agreement performance. Technical risk shall be rated using the ratings listed below.

Technical Risk Rating

Description

Low

Has little potential to cause disruption of schedule or degradation of performance. Normal contractor effort and normal Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome any difficulties.

Moderate Can potentially cause disruption of schedule or degradation of performance. Special contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome difficulties.

High Is likely to cause significant disruption of schedule or degradation of performance. Is unlikely to overcome any difficulties, even with special contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring.

e. Factor 2: Past Performance: Past performance is defined as a subjective judgment about the quality of a firm's historical performance. This judgment may be based on statements of opinion about the quality of specific aspects of the firm's performance or about the quality of the firm's overall performance. These statements will be obtained from the firm's customers, business associates, government agencies, and from other knowledgeable persons and organizations. This judgment may be based on records of objective measurements and subjective ratings of specified performance attributes, if available. This factor is designed for the offeror to show a history of successful performance of similar work and to show ability to perform successively larger and more complex agreements. Success with other similar work

[(17-24-year-old) and influencer markets]which includes the target markets young adults : can indicate the probability of success with the agreement. Offerors are cautioned that when conducting the past performance assessment, the government may use data provided in the offeror's proposal and data obtained from other sources, such as the Past Performance

Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS), Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) or similar systems and State Department Watch Lists. An offeror who does not have relevant past performance will not be rated favorably or unfavorably but will be given a neutral rating.

A determination of the offeror's past performance will be made. The government is not bound by the offeror's opinion of relevance. Each offeror will receive a performance confidence assessment rating based on the offeror's recent past performance, focusing on performance that is relevant to the agreement requirements. There are two aspects to the past performance evaluation. The first is to evaluate the offeror's past performance to determine how relevant a recent effort accomplished by the offeror is to the effort to be acquired through the source selection.
