4.0 EVALUATION PROCEDURES

4.1. SOURCE SELECTION EVALUATION BOARD (SSEB)

4.1.1. The SSEB will be established to conduct the evaluation of proposals received in response to this solicitation. The evaluation will be based on the content of the proposal and any subsequent discussions required, as well as information obtained from other sources, e.g. past performance information. 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/PCO will tailor the discussions to each offeror’s 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/PCO also is encouraged to discuss other aspects of the offeror’s proposal that could, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer/PCO, be altered or explained to enhance materially the proposal’s potential for award. However, the Contracting Officer/PCO 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.

4.2.4. Upon conclusion of discussions Offerors will be afforded an opportunity to submit their proposal revisions for final evaluation and selection.

4.3. DEFINITIONS

4.3.1. Deficiency

A material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement, where correction of this error is not possible without major revisions to the proposal, or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level or when a failure to meet the RFP requirements is a life/safety issue.

4.3.2. Weakness

A flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance but is easily correctable. Successful contract performance is defined by customer satisfaction.

4.3.3. Significant Weakness

As flaw in the proposal that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

Successful contract performance is defined by customer satisfaction.

4.3.4 Uncertainty

Any aspect of the proposal for which the intent of the Offeror is unclear because there may be more than one way to interpret the offer or because inconsistencies in the offer indicate that there may be an error, omission, or mistake.

4.3.6. Deviation

Proposal implies or specifically offers a deviation below the specified criteria. The Offeror may or may not have called the deviation to the Government’s attention. A deviation is a deficiency. The proposal must conform to the solicitation requirements for award.

4.4. EVALUATION RATING SYSTEM -

4.4.1. General: The Government will review the proposals and rate the quality of each evaluation factor.

The SSEB will rate each proposal against the specified evaluation criteria in the Solicitation requirements.

They will not compare proposals.

4.4.2. Review Write-up: The Government will support each rating with a narrative, separately listing all strengths or advantages, weaknesses or disadvantages, deficiencies, and required clarifications.

5.0 BASIS OF AWARD

5.1. The Government will award a firm fixed price contract to the responsible Offeror whose technically acceptable proposal represents the lowest price.

5.2. The basis of award will be the Government’s assessment as to which proposal is determined to be technically acceptable and is the lowest price determined fair and reasonable through the use price analysis. Offerors that do not receive an acceptable rating (technically acceptable), will not be selected, regardless of their price (lowest Offeror may not be selected).

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. The Government may make award of an acceptable proposal without discussions, if deemed to be in the best interests of the Government.

ADJECTIVE RATINGS AND DEFINITIONS TO BE USED TO BEST REFLECT

YOUR EVALUATION OF THE CONTRACTOR’S PERFORMANCE EVALUATION FACTORS

RATING DEFINITION NOTE

(E) Exceptional Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor was highly effective.

An Exceptional rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed multiple significant events that were of benefit to the Government/Owner. A singular benefit, however, could be of such magnitude that it alone constitutes an Exceptional rating.

Also, there should have been NO significant weaknesses identified.

(VG) Very Good Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the Government’s/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective.

A Very Good rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed a significant event that was a benefit to the Government/Owner. There should have been no significant weaknesses identified.

(S) Satisfactory Performance meets minimum contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appear or were satisfactory.

A Satisfactory rating is appropriate when there were only minor problems, or major problems that the contractor recovered from without impact to the contract.

There should have been NO significant weaknesses identified. Per DOD policy, a fundamental principle of assigning ratings is that contractors will not be assessed a rating lower than Satisfactory solely for not performing beyond the requirements of the contract.

(M) Marginal Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions. The contractor's proposed actions appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented.

A Marginal is appropriate when a significant event occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming which impacted the Government/Owner.

(U) Unsatisfactory Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains serious problem(s) for which the contractor's corrective actions appear or were ineffective.

An Unsatisfactory rating is appropriate when multiple significant events occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming and which impacted the Government/Owner. A singular problem, however, could be of such serious magnitude that it alone constitutes an unsatisfactory rating.

(N) Not Applicable No information or did not apply to your contract Rating will be neither positive nor negative.
