A Bid, No Bid Decision Model for Small Businesses
A Bid/No Bid Decision Model for Small Businesses
Complete the following table using requirements and evaluation points from Sections L & M of your RFP.
The application of the table is based on a hypothetical RFP for a database design contract.
| RFP Section | RFP Requirements from Section L | RFP Evaluation Points from Section M | Score Yourself & Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Technical Approach | Design Concept Interface Design | 40 for entire Approach | 30 |
| Management Plan | Proposed Organization Structure Quality Assurance Plan | 15 for entire Plan | 10 |
| Experience | 3 Database Projects of $500,000 or greater | 40 | 30 |
| Personnel | Key Person Resume | 5 | 5 |
| Price | Labor Categories and Direct Labor Ranges shown in a spreadsheet that must be completed by offeror | Price will not be a actor in making an award if considered reasonable | - |
| Totals | --- | 100 | 75 |
Our experience shows that points exceeding 50% of total evaluation points will receive awards if RFP is multiple awards and a small business set-aside. Single award points should be in the 60 – 80 range to make a bid.
