Understanding of the Problem - The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which it demonstrates a clear understanding of all features involved in solving the problems and meeting the requirements presented in the contract, and the extent to which uncertainties are identified and resolutions proposed. The proposal will be evaluated strictly in accordance with its written content. A proposal which merely restates the requirement or states that the requirement will be met, without providing supporting rationale, is not sufficient. b. Feasibility of Approach - The proposal will be evaluated to determine whether the Offeror's methods and approach to meeting the contract requirements provide the Government with a high level of confidence of successful completion within the required schedule. The evaluation will also consider the realism of the allocated hours, labor categories, and materials being proposed. c. Completeness - 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 contract and/or solicitation. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which each requirement has been addressed. Risk relative to the proposed Technical Approach is evaluated as part of the Technical Evaluation to ascertain the degree of risk associated with the Offeror's proposed approach and the likelihood of success of the proposed approach. d. Level of Effort - The technical review team will be responsible for considering the level of effort and the mix of labor proposed to perform a specific task being ordered. 2. PAST PERFORMANCE EVALUATION APPROACH The Past Performance Approach will be evaluated based on the narrative, Past Performance references and other Government sources for quality, timeliness, and relevance (i.e., experience in providing services similar in size, scope, and complexity as described in the SOW. The Government will make determination of relevance. If no past performance information is readily available (FAR 15.306(a) (2) (iv)), the Offeror's past performance will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably. 3. SOCIOECONOMIC CONDITIONS APPROACH In accordance with VAAR 852.215-70, SDVOSB, and VOSB Evaluation Factors, the Government will assign evaluation credit for an Offeror (prime contractor) which is a SDVOSB or some consideration for a VOSB.
