80% to 89%: The Proposal overall is above average for this criterion and exceeds the minimum requirements in some respects; the Evaluation Committee identified only minor limitations or concerns.
70% - 79%: The Proposal overall is acceptable for this criterion and meets the minimum requirements; the Evaluation Committee identified some significant limitations or concerns.
60% - 69%: The Proposal overall is marginal to fair for this criterion but does not meet the minimum requirements in some respects; the Evaluation Committee identified a number of significant limitations or concerns.

25. PA Process Flow Chart

26. State Executed vs Polysub
Executed PA’s
If a state has executed a Participating Addendum that allows for Political Subdivision’s to conduct purchases, NASPO ValuePoint discourages individual entities and contractors from executing a separate or additional Participating Addendum.
If a Political Subdivision needs to execute a separate contractual document, that contractual document should be maintained at the political subdivision level. Do not forward to NASPO ValuePoint

27. Things to Remember
Sample PA’s are located on the NASPO ValuePoint Website under each master agreement portfolio.
Executed Participating Addendum will be maintained on and in a repository.
Participating states and entities will be identified on the map of the USA on each Master Agreement page on
The Lead State and NASPO ValuePoint do not get involved with negotiations.
Only submit completed and negotiated PA’s with signatures from both parties.
Submit completed PA’s in PDF Format. 27
