1............................  The factor is addressed, but contains
                                deficiencies and/or weaknesses that can
                                be corrected only by major or
                                significant changes to relevant portions
                                of the proposal, or the factor is
                                addressed so minimally or vaguely that
                                there are widespread information gaps.
                                In addition, because of the
                                deficiencies, weaknesses, and/or
                                information gaps, serious concerns exist
                                on the part of the technical evaluation
                                team about the offeror's ability to
                                perform the required work.
2............................  Information related to the factor is
                                incomplete, unclear, or indicates an
                                inadequate approach to, or understanding
                                of the factor. The technical evaluation
                                team believes there is question as to
                                whether the offeror would be able to
                                perform satisfactorily.
3............................  The response to the factor is adequate.
                                Overall, it meets the specifications and
                                requirements, such that the technical
                                evaluation team believes that the
                                offeror could perform to meet the
                                Government's minimum requirements.
4............................  The response to the factor is good with
                                some superior features. Information
                                provided is generally clear, and the
                                demonstrated ability to accomplish the
                                technical requirements is acceptable
                                with the possibility of more than
                                adequate performance.
5............................  The response to the factor is superior in
                                most features.
