What precludes a contractor from bidding a large percentage of their workforce as part-time?
Both private sector bidders and MEOs often incorporate part-time, seasonal and intermittent positions to accomplish work that is not constant from day to day. 68. Explain the process for evaluating private sector bids to ensure that we will get a qualified contractor. Bids/offers are subject to a rigorous evaluation process that examines the bidders/offerors capability to perform the work at the price/cost proposed. This includes an examination of the contractors “track record” on past contracts and financial condition. In negotiated procurements, proposals are evaluated against the source selection criteria set forth in the solicitation. Standard source selection procedures are followed, including technical evaluation, cost/price analysis, etc. In large efforts, a source selection evaluation board is normally used to evaluate proposals.
