Understanding the Proposal Evaluation Process Series

This Understanding the Proposal Evaluation Process webinar series is for both contractors and agencies who want, or need, to have a better understanding of the proposal evaluation process.  Each webinar in the series will examine one common evaluation factor. Each topic has been selected because it is often a significant, possibly, deciding factor in the ultimate award decision of many federal contract awards.

With each webinar, our expert will seek to answer two questions about the discussed evaluation factor.  (1) How do contractors maximize their chance for success in this part of their proposal? (2) How do government personnel perform a proper evaluation of this factor?

Topics for this year’s series include:

  • Key Personnel (January)
  • Price (March)
  • Responsiblity (April)
  • Technical & Management (May)
  • Socioeconomic Factors (June)
  • Past Performance (September)
  • Cost Realism (October)
  • Source Selection Autority and Award types (November)

Next Topic of the Series:  Responsibility Determinations
