This technique fuses or brings together multiple requirements into a single solicitation from what would normally be multiple separate solicitations for each specific requirement. The varying requirements could be the same, similar, or completely different documents combined into the single solicitation. Prior to issuing the solicitation, the acquisition team would determine the evaluation strategy for each requirement outlined.
Betterment is a process where vendors have the opportunity, in a dedicated space in their quote or proposal, to outline specific aspects of their proposed solution that exceed or enhance the government’s requirement and the value those aspects bring to the government. These Betterment promises are submitted as a stand-alone factor and are considered in the overall tradeoff analysis. These Betterment promises are captured and included in the awarded requirements document (award) replacing the former minimums of the original requirements document (solicitation).
