The evaluation follows a trade-off methodology weighted toward technical merit (100 points) and cost (60 points), with scoring based on work plan quality, relevant experience, cost efficiency, and education credentials. Offerors must complete multiple certifications including those for Small Business, Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise status, and compliance with ethical standards under the Political Reform Act, including mandatory Form 700 filings for key personnel. Additional contractual obligations include conducting background investigations for all personnel with access to confidential data, designating a security officer, completing annual privacy training, maintaining data confidentiality per HIPAA and California law, and ensuring bilingual staff availability when serving non-English-speaking communities.
