Technical Evaluations Process:

Each Offeror’s technical proposal was independently evaluated by a Technical Evaluation Panel
(“TEP” or “Panel”). A kick-off meeting was held and established a schedule for the evaluation of
proposals and discussed in detail the roles and responsibilities of the TEP. In addition, each TEP
member completed the required Disclosure Agreement and Confidentiality Agreement. Prior to
convening the evaluation meeting, each member of the Panel individually completed an
evaluation of the proposals.

After the Panel members had completed their individual evaluations of the proposals, the Panel
met virtually on March 23, 2023, to develop the consensus technical score for each Offeror.

Contracting Officer’s Independent Evaluation:

The Department’s Contracting Officer carefully reviewed each of the proposals and independently
rated each Offeror. He further carefully reviewed the evaluation process followed by the Panel,
their notes and scoresheets, and their final consensus technical evaluation and concluded that the
Panel’s technical evaluations of the proposed Offerors were proper and reasonable.

certified and received points accordingly.

When the total points for all of the three components (technical, price, and CBE preference) were
combined, the Contractor was the highest ranked Offeror. The Contracting Officer examined the
fee/price proposal submitted by the Contractor and determined that the overall proposed fees/price
