2.4.3.2.4  Focus on Performance-Based Desired Outcome (Sub-paragraph not in Template)

Mission Capability subfactors should focus on the performance-based desired outcome of the source selection and ensuing contract performance, and not the approach to be used by the offeror to complete the contract.  Subfactors should focus only on those areas of performance that meet three tests:

-  The subfactor can be defined in terms of expected or promised contract performance outcome captured in the resultant contract.

-  Significant differences in proposals are anticipated.

-  Anticipated differences in performance are of sufficient value or mitigate significant risks that the customer is willing to pay more for the additional performance.
