SOURCE SELECTION CRITERIA
True discriminators have the following characteristics:
A reasonable expectation of variance among offerors
An assessable variance (quantitative or qualitative measurement)
The requirement(s) warrant a comparative evaluation of that Factor (worthy of a Price/Cost Premium)
Do Criteria Focus on Issues of Substance?
Is there time to evaluate the selected criteria?
ID of skilled evaluators to assess the criteria?

THE SOURCE SELECTION DECISION
Represents the Source Selection Authority’s rational and independent judgment;
Is based on a comparative analysis of the proposals;
Must be consistent with solicitation evaluation factors and subfactors.
Must Reflect Why Discriminators among Offerors (e.g. Lower Risk, Better Past Performance, Strengths and Weaknesses) are:
Worth of any Price Premium, or
Not Worth of a Price Premium

• Examples– GSA– COS
etc

MATOC COMPETITION PROCESS
• RFP Letter & SOW
• Evaluation Criteria Identified in RFP Letter
• Technical Board for Design Build T.O.s
• Importance of Price vs Technical
• Source Selection Decision

THE BENEFIT OF MATOCS/SATOCS
• Time Advantage - No 30 day Synopsis
• Ability to manage workload/manpower
• Limited Number of Offerors
• Less Cost to Issue/Award a T.O.
• Can Involve Contractors During Design Development
• More Balanced use of MATOCs and Stand Alone Contracts as Workload Draws Down
