Mandatory Procedure

INDEX

PREFACE

TABLE 1 - MISSION CAPABILITY RATINGS

Color

Rating

Description

Blue

Exceptional

Exceeds specified minimum performance or capability requirements in a way beneficial to the government; proposal must have one or more strengths and no deficiencies to receive a blue.

Green

Acceptable

Meets specified minimum performance or capability requirements delineated in the Request for Proposal; proposal rated green must have no deficiencies but may have one or more strengths.

Yellow

Marginal

Does not clearly meet some specified minimum performance or capability requirements delineated in the Request for Proposal, but any such uncertainty is correctable.

Red

Fails to meet specified minimum performance or capability requirements; proposal has one or more deficiencies. Proposals with an unacceptable rating are not awardable.

TABLE 2 - PROPOSAL RISK RATINGS

Rating

Description

High

Likely to cause significant disruption of schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance. Risk may be unacceptable even with special contractor emphasis and close government monitoring.

Moderate

Can potentially cause disruption of schedule, increased cost, or degradation of performance. Special contractor emphasis and close government monitoring will likely be able to overcome difficulties.

Low

Has little potential to cause disruption of schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance. Normal contractor effort and normal government monitoring will likely be able to overcome any difficulties.

TABLE 3- PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENTS

Rating

Description

HIGH CONFIDENCE

Based on the offeror’s performance record, the government has high confidence the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. INFORMATIONAL GUIDANCE: Historically, the Air Force has considered “High Confidence” as essentially no doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

SIGNIFICANT CONFIDENCE

Based on the offeror’s performance record, the government has significant confidence the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. INFORMATIONAL GUIDANCE: Historically, the Air Force has considered “Significant Confidence” as little doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

SATISFACTORY CONFIDENCE

Based on the offeror’s performance record, the government has confidence the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Normal contractor emphasis should preclude any problems.

UNKNOWN CONFIDENCE

No performance record is identifiable. INFORMATIONAL GUIDANCE: Offerors without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably. (See FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iii) & (iv)).

LITTLE CONFIDENCE

Based on the offeror’s performance record, substantial doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

NO CONFIDENCE

Based on the offeror’s performance record, extreme doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

5.5.4. Cost or Price Evaluation. Cost or price shall be an evaluation factor in each source selection. The proposed and, if applicable, evaluated total cost/price (such as probable cost) are presented with narrative descriptions of reasonableness, realism, affordability, etc. to the Source Selection Authority. The Source Selection Evaluation team must use the appropriate analysis technique(s) identified in FAR 15.404 as supplemented to evaluate the proposed cost or price and shall inform offerors of the technique(s) to be used in the evaluation criteria (Section M or equivalent provisions of the solicitation). For all ACAT programs, a risk rating shall be assigned to the cost/price evaluation factor to characterize cost risk when a government probable cost/price analysis is conducted. For non-ACAT acquisitions when a government probable cost/price analysis is conducted, a risk rating may be assigned to the cost/price factor at the discretion of the SSA. When a risk rating is assigned, use the same ratings as listed in Table 2 – Proposal Risk Ratings. To ensure the best possible evaluation, the entire government evaluation team shall have access to cost or pricing information. Under appropriate circumstances, non-government advisors may be permitted access as required.
