This document, "Attachment 5 - CUI CCR Revision 2 Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award," outlines the criteria and methodology the U.S. Air Force will use to evaluate proposals for the KC-135 Center Console Refresh (CCR) acquisition. It details how offerors will be assessed to determine the best value award.

• Basis for Contract Award: Utilizes Tradeoff Source Selection procedures for a best-value decision, considering technical proposals, technical risk, past performance, and price.
• Evaluation Factors:
  • Factor 1: Technical: Assessed through four subfactors: Technical Solution, Exceeding Requirements and Demonstrating System Strengths, Data Rights, and Schedule. Subfactors 1, 3, and 4 are pass/fail (Acceptable/Unacceptable), while Subfactor 2 allows for tradeoffs.
  • Factor 2: Technical Risk: Evaluates the likelihood of schedule disruption, performance degradation, or increased oversight.
  • Factor 3: Past Performance: Assesses the offeror's demonstrated record of performance, considering recency, relevancy, and quality.
  • Factor 4: Price: (Section to be added by the Program Office).
• Evaluation Methodology: Proposals will be evaluated concurrently. Technical Subfactors 1, 3, and 4 will be rated Acceptable (Green) or Unacceptable (Red). Subfactor 2 will be rated Acceptable, Good, or Outstanding. Technical Risk will be rated Low, Moderate, High, or Unacceptable. Past Performance will receive a confidence assessment rating. An integrated assessment of these factors will determine the best value.
• Facility Clearance: Offerors must possess a final facility clearance equal to the highest classification specification (DD254) prior to the Source Selection Authority Decision Brief.
