We value your feedback and look forward to hearing from you. Award will be made on the basis of the Highest Technically Rated Offeror (HTRO) source selection methodology. The Highest Technically Rated Offeror is a source selection process that is neither a tradeoff nor Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA). It focuses on prior experience in performing the same or similar work. In using the HTRO process, the Government establishes a weighted points-based spreadsheet, with a minimum thecnical score required yet to be determined, of objective criteria in the solicitation. Offerors self-score and provide substantiation for their scoring in their technical proposal. The Government’s technical evaluation is a review of this substantiation to validate the offeror’s self-score. Awards will be based on Best Value Continumn, Best Value is defined as the offeror with the highest Government-validated technical score. Offerors self-score against the pre-defined objective scoring criteria and deliver supporting documentation to objectively prove self-score validity. The DRAFT self-scoring spreadsheet attached reflects the maximum points and the weight factor for each criterion. The Government will not add points to an offeror's self-score, only decrement. Scoring sheets will be provided in an update to come. Please not that references and data contained in this notice as ONLY examples, and are not exactly what the final products will look like.
