3. Streamlined Process Applicability  Any competitive negotiated acquisition for which it is unnecessary to distinguish all levels of technical merit among the proposals to make an award decision  Firm fixed price and cost-type contracts  Not appropriate for sole source buys, sealed bidding, and technically complex acquisitions  The designated approving official will approve the recommended source selection strategy (PPT, LTO, or FTO) at the procurement strategy meeting

4. 4 JSC Best Value Continuum FAR Part 8 and 12 FAR Part 15 Full Trade-Off PPT Performance/ Price Trade-Off LPTA Low-Price/ Tech Acceptable Simplified & Sealed Bid FAR Part 13 & 14 Low Price Non-Cost Cost PricePerf Trade-off Tech Acceptable GreaterImportance of PriceLesser LesserTechnical ComplexityGreater *Option to evaluate past perf but no comparative assessment or ranking. FAR 15.101-2(b) Limited Tradeoff (LTO) ( old midrange v/c) SEB Process

5.  Price/Past Performance Trade-Off (PPT) ◦ May or may not request technical proposal ◦ If requested, technical proposal is rated as acceptable, unacceptable, or potentially acceptable ◦ Trade-off performed on all proposals that passed  Limited Trade-Off ◦ Same as PPT, but adds value characteristics to the trade-off ◦ VCs are above the minimum requirement and act as a clear and concise discriminators  Ratings of Significant Value Added, Value Added, or No Value Added

8. 8 PPT/LTO Pros and Cons Pros  Uses smaller teams & less resources  Reduction in schedule ◦ SSA under $50M may be delegated to the Procurement Office Mgr ◦ Allows for simpler technically acceptability criteria  Recognizes good performers by eliminating marginal and unsatisfactory performers  Potentially greater opportunity to award without discussions  For LTO: Adds Value Characteristics (VCs) Cons  Technical superiority not basis for award  Initial learning curve must be factored into the new process
