Sec. 715.303-70  Responsibilities of USAID evaluation committees.



    (a) Establishment and composition of USAID evaluation committees. A 

technical evaluation committee shall be established for each proposed 

procurement. In each case, the committee shall be composed of a chair 

representing the cognizant technical office, a representative of the 

contracting office (who shall be a non-voting member of the committee), 

and representatives from other concerned offices as appropriate.

    (b) Technical evaluation procedures. (1) The contracting officer 

will receive all proposals and provide to the chair a listing and copies 

of the technical proposals and instructions for conducting the 

evaluation.

    (2) The chair will promptly call a meeting of the committee to 

evaluate the proposals received. The evaluation shall be based on the 

evaluation factors set forth in the solicitation document.

    (3) The chair shall prepare and provide to the Contracting Officer 

written documentation summarizing the results of the evaluation of each 

proposal, including an assessment of past performance information in 

accordance with FAR 15.305(a)(2). The documentation shall include 

narrative justification of the evaluation results.

    (4) The contracting officer is responsible for reviewing the 

documentation justifying the evaluation results to determine that it is 

adequate and complete. The contracting officer shall return a 

justification determined to be inadequate to the chair for revision.

    (5) No member of the USAID evaluation committee shall hold 

discussions with any offeror before or during the USAID evaluation 

committee's proceedings, nor shall any information about the proposals 

be provided to anyone not on the committee without first obtaining the 

contracting officer's consent.
