ATTACHMENT M1 – EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD (SEP 2026)

PART A – GENERAL INFORMATION

1.0 BASIS FOR AWARD

1.1 The Government intends to make a fair opportunity selection in accordance with FAR 16.507-2 and award one Task Order (TO) to the responsible Contractor whose Offer conforms to the Request for Offer (RFO).
1.2 The award will be made to the Contractor determined to have the Highest Technically Ranked Offer (HTRO), provided that the HTRO achieves an assigned Past Performance confidence rating of 'Neutral Confidence' or higher, and the proposed Cost/Price is determined fair and reasonable, realistic, and balanced.
1.3 Technical ranking determines the HTRO. Initially, Past Performance and Cost/Price will be evaluated only for the HTRO.
1.4 The evaluation approach permits a best-value tradeoff only if the HTRO (or the next highest technically ranked eligible Offer being evaluated for award) receives a Past Performance confidence rating of 'Limited Confidence' or 'No Confidence'. In such an event, the Government will evaluate the Past Performance and Cost/Price of the next highest technically ranked Offer(s). The tradeoff will then be conducted across the Technical, Past Performance, and Cost/Price factors between the two eligible evaluated Offers to determine which Offer represents the best overall value to the Government.
