§ 2015.605 - Evaluation factors.

The evaluation criteria included in the solicitation serve as the standard against which all proposals are evaluated, and are the basis for the development of proposal preparation instructions, in accordance with 2015.407-70(b). Indication in the solicitation of the relative importance of evaluation factors and subfactors is accomplished by the assignment of a numerical weight to each. For those factors that will not be numerically weighted, only their relative importance will be stated in the solicitation. Examples of factors which may not be numerically weighted are conflict of interest, estimated cost, and business evaluations, and “go/no go” evaluation factors.
