A-76, Handbook: Part I, Ch. 3, H-3 d. - Same level of performance and performance quality

Comptroller General - Key Excerpts

Then, where, as here, a "best value" approach is taken in evaluating private-sector proposals, the agency must perform a direct comparison between the non-price aspects of the MEO and the "best value" private-sector proposal. More specifically, the agency must compare the MEO to the private-sector proposal to determine "whether or not the same level of performance and performance quality will be achieved," Supplemental Handbook, part I, ch. 3, para. H.3.d-and, if not, the agency must make "all changes [to the MEO] necessary to meet the performance standards accepted [in the private-sector proposal]." [13] Id. para. H.3.e. Thus, the level and quality of performance reflected in the "best value" private-sector proposal becomes the benchmark against which the level and quality of performance of the MEO must be measured.  (Rice Services, Ltd., B-284997, June 29, 2000)

U. S. Court of Federal Claims - Key Excerpts

After plaintiff was identified as the successful offeror, the Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) compared the technical section of plaintiff’s proposal with the government’s Technical Performance Plan. See AR at 36.  Michael Whitacre, the SSEB Chairman, concluded that both organizations appear “capable of delivering quality service as defined by the technical requirements” and that each had proposed an equivalent level of work. See AR at 36. The Source Selection Authority, Larry M. Brom, confirmed this conclusion based upon his “independent assessment” of the information provided by the SSEB.  (Rust Constructors Inc. v. U. S., No. 00-277C, May 31, 2001)
