III. Evaluation Factors for Award Proposals will be evaluated by a committee of technically qualified NOAA employees assisted by bureau contracting personnel in accordance with the criteria below. A. Factor 1 – Technical Capabilities 1. Criterion 1 - Adequacy of Response. The proposal will be evaluated to determine whether the offeror’s methods and approach have adequately and completely considered, defined, and satisfied the requirements specified in the solicitation. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which each requirement of the solicitation has been addressed in the proposal in accordance with the proposal submission section of the solicitation 2. Criterion 2 - Feasibility of Approach. The proposal will be evaluated to determine whether the offeror's methods and approach to meeting the solicitation requirements provide the Government with a high level of confidence of successful completion within the required schedule. {An assessment of the degree of confidence provided by the proposed verification approaches/methods will also be included.} In the event that enhancements are proposed, the enhancements will be evaluated to determine whether the approach taken is feasible and will result in an end product/service that fully meets or exceeds the RFP requirements. B. Factor 2 – Performance Risk Evaluation The Performance Risk evaluation will assess the relative risks associated with an offeror's likelihood of success in performing the solicitation's requirements as indicated by that offeror's record of past performance. The Government will conduct a performance risk assessment based on the quality, relevancy and recency of the offeror's past performance, as well as that of its major subcontractors, as it relates to the probability of successful accomplishment of the required effort. Offerors are cautioned that in conducting the performance risk assessment, the Government may use data provided in the offeror's proposal and data obtained from other sources. Since the Government may not necessarily interview all of the sources provided by the offerors, it is incumbent upon the offerors to explain the relevance of the data provided. Offerors are reminded that while the Government may elect to consider data obtained from other sources, the burden of proving low performance risk rests with the offerors. Stated experiment encompasses the accomplishment of work by the proposer which is comparable or related to the effort required under this procurement. Past performance indicate how well the proposer did on the earlier work. (At a minimum, the contactor should list/demonstrate their experience in working with the U.S. Government in presentations at meetings/ conferences for groups of similar size to ours over the last three years.) C. Factor 3 – Cost/Price Cost/Price factors are those factors, which indicate the adequacy and realism of the cost proposal and the probable cost that will be incurred should the Government choose to contract with the proposer. The evaluation of cost factors will include an assessment of the probable cost of doing business with each proposer during the course of the contract. It will also include a comparison with commercial industry estimate of the cost. Cost will not be the deciding factor when proposals are ranked in the technically acceptable range. Technical and Past Performance combined will carry more weight than Cost.
