The evaluation criteria that I typically see are very vague and / or subjective. They are so vague or subjective that any offer can be chosen, so likely the pre-determined awardee is chosen.
Since I'm not the pre-determined awardee, I'd like to break that. Are there any published rules on how clear, specific, and objective evaluation criteria need be? I'm itching to protest those that I think that I will win and try to turn the criteria to my advantage.
Along those lines, contracting officers and others do harbor grudges. Is there any precedent to have procurement taken away from one contracts shop and given to another to avoid potentially biased evaluations?
