- Technical Evaluation Factors

The PO must develop evaluation factors in consultation with review staff and submit them to the CO in the AP/RFC for inclusion in the RFP. Development of these factors and the assignment of the relative importance or weight to each require the exercise of judgment on a case-by-case basis because they must be tailored to the requirements of the individual acquisition. Because the factors will serve as a standard against which all proposals will be evaluated, it is imperative that staff choose them carefully to emphasize those considered to be critical in the selection of a contractor. The final evaluation factors contained in the RFP cannot be changed except by a formal amendment issued by the CO. No factors other than those set forth in the RFP may be used to evaluate proposals. The evaluation factors must be clear, concise, and fair so all potential offerors are fully aware of the bases for proposal evaluation. See HHSAR 315.204-5(c) for more details.
