This document outlines the evaluation factors for awarding a federal contract, emphasizing a best-value tradeoff source selection process in accordance with FAR Part 15 and DoD/DAFFARS procedures. Technical factors are significantly more important than price, with Subfactor E being the only technical subfactor included in the tradeoff. The government will use a two-step evaluation: first, assessing technical and price proposals, then making award determinations, potentially without discussions. Technical proposals are rated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis for Subfactors A and B, and a combined technical/risk rating (Blue/Outstanding to Red/Unacceptable) for Subfactors C and D. Proposals receiving an Unacceptable rating in Factor D are not awardable. Price proposals are evaluated for fairness, reasonableness, completeness, and balance, with unbalanced or incomplete proposals potentially being rejected. The government intends to award one contract without discussions, reserving the right not to award based on proposal acceptability and fund availability.
