15.305  Proposal evaluation.

(S-90) Ensure the source selection plan and solicitation clearly state all evaluation factors, sub-factors, and relative importance.

See the OSD Guide to Collection and Use of Past Performance Information.

(S-91) Evaluation of a single proposal. If only one proposal is received in response to a competitive solicitation, the contracting officer shall determine if the solicitation was flawed or unduly restrictive, and if the single proposal is an acceptable proposal. Based on these findings, the SSA determines whether to continue with the procurement and proceed with one of the following:

(1)  Award without discussions. The contracting officer shall determine that adequate price competition exists (FAR 15.403-1(c)(l)(ii));

(2)  Award after negotiating a mutually acceptable contract. (The requirement for submission of cost or pricing data shall be determined in accordance with FAR 15.403-1); or

(3)  Reject the proposal and cancel the solicitation.
