Using the trade-off process gives the government the flexibility to trade off among cost or price and non-cost evaluation factors such as the contractor’s technical capabilities, management capabilities, qualifications, and experience. It will be clearly indicated in the solicitation package on the relative order of importance of the evaluation factor which will state as follows: The following five criteria will be evaluated in order of importance. All non-price factors are listed in descending order of importance, with the most important criterion listed first. Criteria 1-5 combined are significantly more important than price. Price will not be scored, but its reasonableness and fairness will be evaluated. 1. Technical capability 2. Past performance 3. Corporate experience 4. Key personnel 5.

...Shalonda Mitchell Professor: Dr. Paul Hackman ENG 215 Research and Writing January 15, 2013 My first experience with persuasive writing was in the fifth grade. I had to write a persuasive letter to the school principal, in an attempt to convince her that I should be chosen to represent Westside Elementary School’s fifth grade class at the annual Math Bee. Of the four fifth grade classes; myself and two other fifth grade students were chosen due to our high scores on the statewide math test. I saw this as an opportunity to finally represent my class because I have always loved to write; as well as, I really enjoyed math at that level. In my letter I chose to remind my principal how well prepared for class I am every day. Each day I showed up with all the items listed on my learning log. At the beginning of every school year each student was given a laminated learning log for their grade level. We were instructed to attach the learning logs to the front of our notebooks, as a reminder of what we should have when we arrive for school in the morning. Each day I came prepared with everything listed on the learning log. I also reminded my principal how polite and respectful I was to both she and my fellow classmates. I enjoyed school and I knew the importance of good behavior and respect. My parents would often remind me that what I did outside of the home reflects who they are and if I behaved poorly or in a disrespectful manner there would be consequences. Finally...
