40. 40 Procurement Process Overview Evaluation Proposals will be evaluated in accordance with NASA FAR Supplement 1815.3, Source Selection Sections 1815.300 through 1815.308. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government. The following factors will be used to evaluate proposals: 1. Technical Capability a. Technical Approach b. Schedule c. Project Control Plan 2. Past Performance and Experience 3. Price

41. 41 Procurement Process Overview Technical Capability Adjective Ratings EXCELLENT – A comprehensive and thorough proposal of exceptional merit with one or more significant strengths per project element. No deficiency or significant weakness exists. VERY GOOD – A proposal having no deficiency and demonstrates over-all competence. One or more significant strengths have been found and strengths outbalance any weaknesses that exist. GOOD – A proposal having no deficiency and which shows a reasonably sound response. There may be strengths or weaknesses or both. As a whole, weaknesses not off-set by strengths do not significantly detract from the Offeror’s response. FAIR – A proposal having no deficiency and which has one or more weaknesses or significant weaknesses. Weaknesses outbalance any strengths. POOR – A proposal that has one or more deficiencies or significant weaknesses that demonstrate a lack of overall competence or would require a major proposal revision to correct.

42. 42 Procurement Process Overview Award Without “Discussions” Only Allows limited “Clarifications” of Proposals No “Competitive Range” Determination No Ability to Revise/Improve Proposal – Offeror’s Initial Proposal IS its “Best and Final” Benefits –Streamlines Procurement Process –Eliminates Risks Inherent in Discussions Disadvantages –Precludes Ability to Correct Weaknesses –Precludes Ability to Address Price Unrealism Government MAY Still Choose to Conduct Discussions

43. 43 Procurement Process Overview Model Contract Complete Signed Contract Required with Proposal Consists of Sections A thru J of RFP Section L – INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS, AND NOTICES TO OFFERORS –This Section tells you what we want you to submit Section M - EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS –This Section tells you how we will evaluate it. Offeror shall complete and sign Cover Pages (SF1442 Form) –Offeror shall monitor NAIS All relevant and useful information will be posted as solicitation amendments –All amendments SHALL be acknowledged Government will Countersign Model Contract upon Selection of Successful Offeror If Offeror has any questions or comments on Clauses or wording, the Offeror shall notify the Government immediately
