2-26.2 Proposal Evaluation Strategy and Factors

The proposal evaluation strategy must be consistent with the best value approach discussed above. The factors and their weights will vary depending on the particular purchase. Past performance and supplier capability must always be included as evaluation factors, and risk of successful performance should almost always be considered. Risk may be included as a separate proposal evaluation factor or as an element of other factors.

Note: Best value and the proposal evaluation strategy and evaluation factors should be determined during purchase planning and addressed in the purchase plan.
