i.  How does the PAR relate to the Source Selection Decision Document (SSDD)?

The PAR documents the results of the SSET evaluation and provides the comparative analysis of competitive offers and includes the integrated assessment of the evaluation factors, as well as the SSAC's or SSET's source selection recommendation. The SSDD is a summary supporting the SSA's best value decision based on the evaluation factors in the RFP. The SSDD reflects the SSA's integrated assessment and decision. The SSDD clearly explains the decision and documents the reasoning used by the SSA to reach a decision.
