here_2_help Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Just looked at the new DoD Class Deviation posted on the WIFCON home page. Apparently, the availability of funds will be a mandatory evaluation criterion for these "commercial" orders. That's a new one for me. How is the availability of funds (as opposed to price) a meaningful discriminator between offerors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Fleharty Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 This is basically the BAA approach, but for "innovative commercial items, technologies, or services." If you read FAR 35.016 you'll notice a lot of the language in the Class Deviation is lifted word for word from there. Since proposals are not necessarily evaluated against each other, there are concerns of affordability (i.e. a proposal can be technically sound with a fair and reasonable price yet not affordable).
