The technical panel will provide a detailed evaluation and assign a combined technical/risk rating for the Technical and Management Areas. The Past Performance Area will receive only a performance risk rating. The Contract/Price Proposal Area will be evaluated by the Contracting Officer and/or Price Analyst in accordance with the evaluation criteria established in Area III. The Small Business Participation Plan and Small Business Subcontracting Plan Area will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 19.705, DFARS 219.705 and the AFARS, Appendix DD and will include the Small/Small Disadvantaged Business Utilization factor. This, and other factors under Subcontracting, will receive an adjectival rating only. The technical panel will rate each Area and Factor by consensus for each proposal submitted and will prepare initial and final reports. If consensus is not obtainable, a minority report prepared and signed by the dissenting evaluators shall be presented to the Contracting Officer for consideration. The Government technical evaluation panel will evaluate proposals in accordance with the process and evaluation criteria stated herein, and will document the evaluation by providing a narrative discussion of the evaluation of each proposal in terms of the evaluation criteria and proposed strong points (strengths), weak points (weaknesses), and deficiencies. This narrative discussion shall be incorporated into a report, which will be presented to the Contracting Officer to assist in the competitive range determination. Upon establishment of the competitive range, and to the extent deemed necessary at the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer, written discussion items (DIs) will be issued to remaining Offerors, using control numbers, to further investigate any weaknesses, deficiencies, or other subjects identified by the technical panel as germane to the evaluation process. These DIs are considered exchanges/discussions in accordance with FAR 15.306(d). The Contracting Officer may also issue DIs relating to any matter that requires written revisions to a proposal for which a binding agreement is required/desired. The technical panel will be responsible for briefing the Contracting Officer at all steps of the evaluation process. The technical panel shall provide its report to the Contracting Officer for a final briefing, if necessary. 2) RATING METHODS/DEFINITIONS (a) Technical Factor: One of the following ratings will be assigned: TECHNICAL RATINGS Rating Definition Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate. Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies. QUALITY/PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENT: Assess the quality of the offeror's past performance on those recent efforts that were determined relevant by determining how well the contractor performed on the contracts. Documented results from Past Performance Questionnaires, interviews, CPARS, and other sources form the support and basis for this assessment. Once the Relevancy and Contract Performance of the past performance contracts has been established, the offeror will be assigned one Performance Confidence Assessment for the Past Performance Area as described by the table below PAST PERFORMANCE RELEVANCY RATINGS Rating Definition Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. Relevant Present/past performance effort involved much of the magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. Somewhat Relevant Present/past performance effort involved some of the magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. Not Relevant Present/past performance effort did not involve any of the magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. PAST PERFORMANCE RATINGS Rating Description Acceptable Based on the offeror's performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror's performance record is unknown (See note below.). No Confidence Based on the offeror's performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Unknown Confidence (Neutral) No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror's performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance and in the context of acceptability/unacceptability, quote mark unknown quote mark shall be considered quote mark acceptable. quote mark (b) Price Factor: Price proposals will be rated based on 1960 hours and price per report.
