E. F. G. 1. Technical: 2. Cost: 3. Schedule: A. B. 1. Prospective Offerors: Describe how prospective offerors will be identified. 2. Market Research: Identify who conducted the market research. 3. Address the extent and results of the market research and indicate their impact on the various elements of the plan. C. D. If full and open competition is not contemplated, explain the basis for that decision. E. 1. Evaluation Procedures: Explain how offers will be evaluated, and the relationship of the evaluation procedures to the technical factors/standards, technical evaluation team, and solicitation requirements.
Example: Proposals will be evaluated pursuant to the “Best Value Continuum” Source Selection Process, with emphasis placed on past performance, management capabilities and personnel qualifications, price, and on the contractor’s quality control plan as risk factors in determining overall technical acceptability. Past performance data and management capabilities and personnel qualifications and the contractor’s quality control plan will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.305. A team of qualified business personnel will evaluate technical proposals in accordance with the requisite source selection plan, and the solicitation. Price proposals will be evaluated independently of technical evaluations. Award will be made to the technically acceptable offeror(s) whose proposal, being responsive to all solicitation requirements, offers the best value to the business. Award will further be contingent upon determinations of contractor responsibility and price reasonableness.
2. Evaluation Factors: 3. Evaluation Factor Standards: F. 1. Contract Type: ( 2. Options: Specify any options to be used. For example, “Option to Extend Services” or “Option to Extend the Term of the Contract” may be included as unilateral authority to extend services based upon continued need and funds availability. If options will not be used, provide a brief explanation. 3. Special Contract Clauses, Provisions, or Deviations: Specify the special contract clauses, provisions, or deviations, if any. 4. Contracting Method: Detail the contracting method, including any negotiated procedures being used.

The flexibility to hold discussions with potential offerors significantly enhances the business’ ability to maximize competition and obtain quality services at fair and reasonable pricing.
5. Contract Administration: Who will administer the contract? G. 1. Derivation of Budgeting Estimates: 2. Funding Availability: Subject to Availability of Funds or FYXX funds are available. 3.
