Comparative Evaluation

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

No ratings assigned! Evaluators compare one offeror to another throughout the evaluation.

No ratings are assigned! The evaluators compare one offeror to another, factor by factor and then overall at the end. Ideal for task/delivery orders under FAR subpart 8.4 and 16.505, but also for part 13 simplified acquisitions (incl. subpart 13.5 for commercial items up to $7 Million). Not recommended for use under FAR part 15.

  • We don"t get hung up on assigning and defending adjectival ratings
  • Recommended text for solicitation: The Government may perform a comparative evaluation (comparing offers to each other) to select the contractor that is best suited and provides the best value, considering the evaluation factors in this solicitation
  • Allows the source selection authority leeway in determining the method of evaluation
  • Puts the needs of the government above simple FAR part 15 procedure
  • This technique can be very powerful and very fast
