Evaluation is based on four criteria: Compliance, Technical, Price and Specific Goals, and Risk Tolerance. Compliance: Bidders will be disqualified for incomplete submissions, late submissions, incorrect pricing transfers, pencil-completed documents, faxed documents, directors in state employment, tax non-compliance, or being unregistered with the National Central Supplier Database. Technical: 100 points total, with a 60% cut-off. Points are awarded for past similar projects (50 points) and reference letters (50 points). Price and Specific Goals: 80/20 preference point system applies. Preference points (20 max) are awarded for: 51%+ Black-owned businesses (5 points), 51%+ Women-owned businesses (10 points), and SMMEs (EME/QSE, 5 points). Evidence must be submitted. Risk Tolerance: JDA will assess risk exposure, including number of contracts, financial capability, past performance, and pricing anomalies. Bidders exceeding risk thresholds may still be considered at JDA’s discretion.
