E --BASIS FOR AWARD: The selection of one or more sources for contract award(s), as well as the extent of those efforts, will be based on a scientific and/or engineering evaluation of the responses (both technical and cost aspects) to determine the overall technical merit of the proposal in response to this announcement. The technical aspect which is ranked as the first order of priority shall be evaluated based upon the following criteria for selection, which are listed in descending order of relative importance. The sub-criteria listed under special technical factors are of equal relative importance. The criteria are as follows: (1) the relevance of the proposed effort to the missions of the Air Force and WL, (2) the soundness of the proposed approach to accomplish the technical objectives, (3) the offerors' understanding of the problem(s) and proposed solution(s), and (4) special technical factors: --a. offerors' background, ability, facilities, and experience in the proposed technical area, --b. offerors' approach to involving scientists from other departments in the HBCU/MI and other HBCUs/MIs in primary research and development, and --c. offerors' approach to training and utilization of students throughout the year on the proposed research project(s). Cost is ranked as the second order of priority. No further evaluation criteria will be used in selecting the proposals. The technical and cost information will be evaluated at the same time. The Air Force reserves the right to select for award any, all, part, or none of the proposals received.
