include any advantages in any areas of the element and does not meet the minimum performance or
capability requirements of this factor or sub-factor. The proposal includes large apparent weaknesses
and the proposal will require extensive modifications to come into compliance with the minimum

b. Relative Importance of Factors.
Refer to paragraph 1 in this section for delineation of factor relative
importances.
c. Narrative Consensus Comments: The consensus evaluation will identify and document proposal
Deficiencies, Strengths, Weaknesses, and Uncertainties.
Definitions:
Proposal Deficiency: A material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a
combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful
contract performance to an unacceptable level. Examples of deficiencies include statements
by the offeror that it cannot or will not meet a requirement; an approach that clearly does not
met a requirement, or an omission of data required to assess compliance with a Government
requirement.
Proposal Strength: An aspect of a proposal that appreciably decreases the risk of
unsuccessful contract performance or that represents a significant benefit to the Government.
Proposal Weakness: A flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract
performance. A "significant weakness" in the proposal is a flaw that appreciably increases the
risk of unsuccessful performance.
Uncertainty: Any aspect of the proposal for which the intent of the offeror is unclear because
there may be more than one way to interpret the offer or because inconsistencies in the offer
indicate that there may be an error, omission, or mistake. Examples include a mistake in
calculation or measurement and contradictory statements.
