6. Source Selection Evaluation Board Report (Technical). The initial evaluation will determine if proposals meet the minimum technical requirements set forth in the RFP. The resulting report shall document the findings in detail for each factor, and explain the rationale for elimination from further competition/ evaluation. The SSEB Chair will prepare the written report, if a board is convened, or it will be prepared by the individual reviewer. The report will convey the evaluation findings to the SSA. The report must substantiate in language understandable to non-technical personnel that the evaluation has been conducted fairly and in accordance with the evaluation method and criteria specified in the solicitation. Supporting documentation must include individual evaluation worksheets and the consensus evaluation worksheets for each proposal. This documentation will be included in the contract file.

7. Price Evaluation. The Price Proposal corresponding to each technical proposal will be analyzed by the designated Price Evaluation Team, in accordance with FAR 15.404-1.

Technical personnel may be consulted as necessary to ensure that the prices are reasonable, realistic, and adequately reflect the offerors' understanding of the work and their ability to perform the work required in the contract. Generally, after the initial technical report has been completed, the evaluators may be provided with the unedited price proposal information for each offeror: However, release of this information, in whole or in part, and the timing of such release, is totally at the discretion of the SSA. The Price Evaluation Team will rank firms in order of price and will determine if the price is fair and reasonable through comparison with the IGE, other offerors submitting proposals for the same action, or previously proposed prices for same or similar items.

8. Source Selection Decision. Ratings of "ACCEPTABLE"/ "UNACCEPTABLE" are merely guides for decision making. The SSA is responsible for independently determining if the lowest-priced, technically acceptable firm has proposed a fair and reasonable price and is otherwise eligible for award. Trade-offs are not permitted.

Documentation to support the award decision will generally consist of: (1) a final assessment of offers, based on a review of all cost/price and non-cost/technical factors, and (2) a Source Selection Decision Document (SSDD). When possible, this document should be written to include only information that is releasable under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and is suitable for use during debriefings. The documentation must explicitly justify the rationale for the acceptability of the proposal and that the successful offeror's price is considered fair and reasonable to the Government.

9. Debriefing. Release of source selection information after contract award will be handled by Contracting Division in conjunction with Office of Counsel and in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act. Post-award debriefings of offeror’s will be conducted in strict accordance with FAR 15.506 by a contracting personnel with the appropriate support of technical personnel.

These debriefings must not reveal any information prohibited from disclosure or exempt from release, including the names of individuals providing reference information about an offeror's past performance. A memorandum summarizing each debriefing will be included in the contract file.
