This is a practical guide to help you prepare a PAR. MP5315.3, paragraph 6.3.1, requires a PAR for all source selections ≥ $100 million or as required by the SSA. Each source selection is unique and many techniques are used for evaluation. However, for all source selections where a PAR is required, you must complete a narrative assessment of the evaluation at the factor or subfactor level, whichever applies. The assessment must be precise and identify the Mission Capability (Technical and Risk), Cost/Price Risk (if used), Performance Confidence Assessment, and Cost/Price evaluation for all offerors in the competitive range. This guide will walk you through the process to ensure you properly document your evaluation results and provide a comparative analysis of offerors.
