SECTION M
EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD
M-1 EVALUATION
(a) Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal is determined to provide
the best overall value to the Government in accordance with the established criteria and rating
methodology set forth in Section M-2 below.
(b) Selection will be based on a complete assessment of each offeror’s technical proposal,
past performance information and cost proposal. Within the best value continuum, the
Government will employ a Price/Technical Tradeoff analysis of both price and non-price
factors (FAR 15.101-1) in evaluating each proposal submitted. The Technical Factors are
listed in decreasing order of importance, with Company Experience and Management Ability
being equal in importance. The non-price evaluation criteria (technical and past performance),
when combined, are significantly more important than cost or price. However, as non-price
factors become closer in perceived value, cost considerations will become more important.
Trade-off considerations may result in the determination that it is in the best interest of the
Government to award to other than the lowest priced offeror or other than the highest
technically rated offeror.
(c) To be considered for award, a rating of no less than “Acceptable” must be achieved for
the technical factors.
