    The document outlines the evaluation criteria and procedures for awarding a contract under the SOF GLSS2 solicitation. The government will implement a competitive, best-value assessment of each offeror's capabilities based on four primary factors: Technical (Factor 1), Past Performance (Factor 2), Task Order Management (Factor 3), and Task Order Cost (Factor 4). Technical proposals will be assessed using a combined rating system that considers both strengths and potential risks. The government may establish a competitive range for discussion purposes and will notify offerors excluded from this range. Technical evaluations focus on the offeror’s approach to management, subcontractor collaboration, and transition plans, while past performance evaluates the reliability of prior contracts. Task Order Management will gauge how well the offeror manages specific tasks, and the cost factor will assess realism and compliance with proposed budgets. Overall, the evaluation aims to identify a contractor capable of delivering high-quality services while adhering to required timelines and budgets, consistent with FAR and DFARS regulations. Factors are weighted, with Technical being the most critical, followed closely by Past Performance and Task Order Management. Cost will play a lesser role unless other factors are closely aligned.
