(a) This procurement is subject to the Navy's Contractor Evaluation System, Red/Yellow/Green (RYG) Program, authorized by the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Research, Development and Acquisition) for the acquisition of specific commodities by participating activities. (b) The purpose of RYG is to assist contracting personnel during source selection to determine the best value for the Government -- price, past quality performance, and other factors considered. The program uses accumulated contractor quality performance data to classify contractor's performance by Federal Supply Classification as either red (high risk), yellow (moderate risk), or green (low risk), based on the degree of risk to the Government of receiving poor quality products. Classifications are not applied to first time offerors or offerors for whom current, up-to-date quality performance history is unavailable. Such offerors are labeled "Insufficient Data" contractors. Additional quality actions may be needed, but TEAs will not be assesses for "innsufficient data" contractors. (c) A Technical Evaluation Adjustment (TEA) is a monetary assessment added to the price of selected commodities that have been classified red or yellow for specific contractors. A TEA is based on the cost to the Government for effecting additional quality considerations that would otherwise not be required if award were made to the contractor with a satisfactory performance history. During evaluation of quotations, the need for additional quality assurance actions will be determined, and the applicable TEA will be added to the quoted price of the red or yellow commodity. After consideration of any other pertinent, price-related factors (e.g., transportation charges, first article testing, discount terms), the adjusted price becomes the basis for determining award of the contract. A contractor's commodity classification may change over time as new or revised quality performance data becomes available. (d) RYG classifications are summarized as follows: (1) Green is low risk. No extraordinary quality requirements or additional quality actions needed; satisfactory quality history. (2) Yellow is moderate risk. History of quality problems; special quality requirements/actions needed; TEA applies to offered price. (3) Red is high risk. Special alert to history of poor quality performance; TEA applied to offered price, and contract award requires higher level approval. Insufficient data applies to commodities of first time offerors or offerors for whom current, up-to-date quality performancehistory is unavailable; additional quality actions may be needed and invoked, but a TEA shall not be assessed. (e) Prospective offerors may address questions about their classifications to the Naval Sea Systems Command Detachment, Naval Material Quality Assessment Office, Federal Building, Room 400, 80 Daniel Street, Portsmouth, NH 03801-3884, Telephone (603) 431- 9460.
