Successful/unsuccessful offerors will be notified within 90 days of evaluation. Proposals will be evaluated in accordance with the following criteria: (1) Relevance of overall scientific or technical merit to Navy needs; (2) Potential for meeting affordability and dual-use criteria; (3) The offeror's capability, related R&D experience, facilities, techniques, and unique combinations of these, which are integral factors for achieving the proposal objectives; (4)The qualifications, capability, and experience of key personnel who are critical in achieving the proposal objectives; (5) Costs including: transition opportunities/impact; separation of Government funds from leveraged internal funds by utilizing separate tasking and audit trails (the amount of past and proposed industry investment as well as the past and proposed Government contract investment should be explicitly indicated).
