4.2  PPT Models

4.2.1  PPT without Technical Proposals:  If the solicitation clearly identifies the product requirements or performance outcome objectives and there are no mandated qualification requirements, (e.g., employee certifications, license requirements, etc.), supplemental information is not needed.  Every offeror promising to comply with the terms and conditions in the solicitation is offering something of equal technical merit and is acceptable; conversely, any offeror who does not is unacceptable.  Attachment 1 (non-commercial) and Attachment 2 (commercial) are examples of this particular PPT strategy.  

4.2.2  PPT with Technical Proposals.  Technical factors should be used only when mandated performance requirements are identified in the solicitation.  Such factors should be simple, easy to identify and evaluate, and be well suited to the use of a checklist to affirm compliance.  Structure the checklist on a pass/fail basis to yield a rating of Acceptable/Reasonably Susceptible of Being Made Acceptable/Unacceptable, or similar assessment.  Attachment 3 is an example of this particular PPT strategy.
