3.2  With technical proposals

The second model includes technical evaluation factors and/or subfactors that must be considered to ensure the offeror can satisfy certain minimum requirements.  The factors/subfactors are evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable, pass/fail, or similar basis.  As with the first model, the assessment of recent and relevant past performance, resulting in a performance confidence assessment rating, is based on the results of surveys sent to customers identified by the respective offerors and other sources of information available to the contracting officer.
