Proposals that provide only superficial coverage of the information required below, may not receive additional consideration and may be excluded from the competitive range. Additionally, should the proposal include any standard company terms and conditions that conflict with the terms and conditions of the solicitation, the proposal may be determined to be "unacceptable" and thus ineligible for award.

The SSEB will not consider any information incorporated by reference.

4.2. EVALUATION

4.2.1. The SSEB will evaluate the proposals and assign a consensus rating for each evaluation factor, except that performance risk ratings are assigned to past performance (see below).

4.2.3. If discussions are held, the Government may engage in meaningful discussions with each technically acceptable offeror in accordance with FAR 15.306 (d). The contracting officer will tailor the discussions to each offerorôs proposal relative to the solicitation requirements and evaluation factors. To be meaningful, at a minimum, discussions must include identification of all evaluated deficiencies, significant weaknesses, weaknesses, and any adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not yet had an opportunity to respond. The contracting officer also is encouraged to discuss other aspects of the offerorôs proposal that could, in the opinion of the contracting officer, be altered or explained to enhance materially the proposalôs potential for award. However, the contracting officer will not discuss with individual offerors how their proposal compares to other offerors proposals (technical leveling and/or technical transfusion is not allowed). The Government will provide the Offeror an advance agenda for the discussions. During discussions, the Government may ask the Offeror to further explain its proposal and to answer questions about it.

5.3. Offerors have been reminded to include their best technical and price terms in their initial offer and not to automatically assume that they will have an opportunity to participate in discussions or be asked to submit a revised offer.
