Common use of Technical Proposal Instructions Clause in Contracts

Technical Proposal Instructions. Technical proposals will be evaluated to determine the ability of the Contractor to meet the requirements of the Government. Refer to offer form for Technical Proposal Instructions. Proposals will be evaluated and rated to determine which offerors are within a competitive range, price and other factors considered. Award may be made without further negotiations. Proposals should be submitted initially on the most favorable terms that the offeror can submit to the Government, from both price and technical standpoints. However the Government may, after evaluation of proposals, conduct further oral or written discussions as appropriate, with all offerors whose proposals are within a competitive range. Proposals that do not address one or more factors or subfactors, may not be considered further for award. Firms lacking a past performance record (e.g., new firms or those with no relevant experience within their organization) will be treated as an unknown performance risk, receiving a neutral score in this factor. The evaluation factors for this contract and their relative importance are listed below. All subfactors within a factor are equal in weight. Technical evaluation factors may be weighted in only one of the following two ways: (1) They may be ranked in numerical order of importance, where 1 is most important. Equal rank indicates approximately equal importance; or (2) They may be weighted as an approximate percentage of 100%. Method (2) may be used any time, but it must be used if any factor is disproportionately weighted. All technical evaluation factors (I. below), when combined, are significantly less important than price (II. below).
