The following adjectival ratings will be used for technical ratings: Adjectival rating Description of adjectival rating Very Good Proposal meets solicitation requirements, demonstrates a very good understanding of the requirements and has salient features that offer significant advantage to the Government. Very good in all respects. Advantages/strengths not offset by disadvantages/weaknesses. Very good probability of success with overall very low degree of risk in meeting Government requirements. Good Proposal meets most solicitation requirements and demonstrates a good understanding of the requirements but does not offer significant advantages to the Government over basic RFP requirements. Disadvantages/weaknesses are not significant, unless significant advantages are proposed that outweigh significant disadvantages. Where there were areas of concern, clarifications, given by contractor, were acceptable. Good probability of success with overall low degree of risk in meeting the Government requirements. Satisfactory Proposal meets some but not all the RFP requirements, but offers disadvantages (weaknesses) outweighing other advantages (strengths). Examples may include little or no experience cited; weak proposal; mimics RFP language rather than expressing offerors approach or understanding of the RFP. Probability of success considered less than full confidence. Marginal Proposal meets some but not all the RFP requirements. Examples: Proposal does not address all required RFP criteria; little or no experience to the extent that Overall quality cannot be determined because of errors, omissions or deficiencies that may be capable of being corrected without a major rewrite or revision of proposal. Probability of success is questionable without further explanation by offeror. Unsatisfactory Proposal demonstrates little to no understanding of the requirements; or approach fails to adequately meet acceptable performance expectations. Proposal contains major errors; omissions or deficiencies. The following rating will be used for Past Performance Rating Risk rating Description of risk rating Very Low Risk Very high quality past performance. Problems, if any, were negligible and were resolved in a timely and highly effective manner. Performance was generally current and very relevant to relevant. Excellent probability of success with overall very low degree of risk in meeting Governments requirements. Low Risk Good quality past performance. Minor problems may have been identified however; contractor took satisfactory corrective actions to resolve where appropriate. Performance was current and generally very relevant to relevant. Good probability of success with overall low degree of risk in meeting the Governments requirements. Average Risk Adequate quality of past performance. Problems may have been identified and the contractor usually took adequate corrective action. Performance was current and generally very relevant to semi-relevant. Although performance exceeds expectations and was rated excellent to very good the projects submitted were generally semi-relevant to the efforts required by this solicitation. Fair probability of success with an average degree of risk in meeting the Governments requirements. Above Average Risk Rather poor quality of past performance. Problems may have been identified and contractor occasionally took corrective action, but not always to the owners satisfaction. Performance was current and generally very relevant to semi-relevant. Fair probability of success with an overall above average risk in meeting the Governments requirements. High Risk Unacceptable quality of past performance. There were problems, some of a somewhat serious to serious nature. Contractors corrective action was sometimes marginally effective to ineffective. Performance was current and very relevant to semi-relevant. Probability of success is questionable with an unacceptably high degree of risk in meeting the Governments requirements. Neutral No current and/or relevant performance record is identifiable upon which to base a meaningful performance risk prediction. Government personnel were unable to identify any relevant Past Performance information for the offeror or key team members/subcontractors. This is neither a negative nor a positive assessment.
