Technical Experience Evaluation: Offeror(s) are required to evaluate their own technical experience using a predetermined questionnaire and self-scoring matrix. Offeror(s) must also submit documentation detailing relevant past technical experience as either a prime contractor or a sub-contractor, along with examples of this experience.
Draft HTRO Self-Scoring Matrix
The USG is implementing a streamlined and objective process called the Highest Technically Rated Offeror (HTRO). This method prioritizes technical capability to ensure the USG partners with the most capable Prime Contractors. The HTRO process is the source selection methodology the USG will use to establish multiple Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts. The HTRO process will identify the most qualified Prime Contractors for base contract awards, who will then compete on individual delivery orders in accordance with fair opportunity procedures in FAR 16.505.
Reference the attached video Attachment 0009 - SAWS HTRO Overview, explaining the HTRO method and how it will allow the USG to get proven capabilities quickly, and for Offerors to get a clear, fair, and efficient path to a contract.
