                 Subpart C--Proposal Evaluation Factors
 
Sec. 636.304  What process may be used to rate and score proposals?

    (a) Proposal evaluation is an assessment of the offeror's proposal 
and ability to perform the prospective contract successfully. You must 
evaluate proposals solely on the factors and subfactors specified in the 
solicitation.
    (b) You may conduct evaluations using any rating method or 
combination of methods including color or adjectival ratings, numerical 
weights, and ordinal rankings. The relative strengths, deficiencies, 
significant weaknesses, and risks supporting proposal evaluation must be 
documented in the contract file.
