Describe the Evaluation Process in the Source Selection Plan – Then Fully Document the Evaluation in Accordance With the SSP

Use a checklist or evaluation form such as the one below:

Evaluation Criteria: The Government will evaluate the offeror’s radar system setup and breakdown.

To receive an acceptable rating, the offeror must demonstrate all of the below items:

a. The system must be transportable by a two person carry.

b. The system must be setup, broken down and operated by one person.

c. The Offeror must set up its radar system within a time not to exceed one hour using one person and break down its radar system within a time not to exceed one hour using one person.

d. Cable connectors connect and disconnect using no more than one turn, or other quick-disconnect system.

e. When the radar system antenna is mounted on the tripod, the range of motion must be +90 degrees to -10 degrees in elevation (horizontal is 0 degrees) and 360 degrees azimuth, without antenna removal.

Evaluation narrative write-up below provides an example of both ‘Acceptable” and “Unacceptable” proposal responses:

Standard of Proof

Narrative:

Acceptable: The offeror proposed a system that can be transported by two people (page 12); can be setup, broken down, and operated by one person (page 13); and can be assembled and disassembled in less than one hour (45 minutes) (page 14). The offeror’s approach uses cable connectors that connect and disconnect using only one turn and the range of motion of the radar system antenna is +90 degrees to -10 degrees in elevation and 360 degrees azimuth (page 22).

Unacceptable: The offeror proposed a system that can be transported by two people (page 12); can be setup, broken down, and operated by one person (page 13); however, the system cannot be assembled and disassembled in less than one hour (90 minutes, as stated in the offeror’s proposal in Volume 1, page 16). Based on the evaluation criteria, this is unacceptable and results in the entire factor being unacceptable. The offeror’s approach uses cable connectors that connect and disconnect using only one turn and the range of motion of the radar system antenna is +90 degrees to -10 degrees in elevation and 360 degrees azimuth (page 22).
