The evaluation criteria are not listed in order of relative weight or importance. The DHS will evaluate proposals based on the evaluation criteria and subfactors listed in the RFP.

The self-scoring parts of the proposal are contained within the Technical Approach, Management Approach, and Past Performance sections. The Offeror is required to complete a Self-Scoring Sheet(s)/Workbook(s), Attachment(s) 8-10 for each functional category the Offeror is proposing for in workable Excel format. The completed Self-Scoring Sheet(s)/Workbook(s) should include documenting all the required fields listed in Attachment(s) 8-10, in the appropriate space designated on the Self-Scoring Sheet(s)/Workbook(s) for all the subfactors the Offeror would like to and is able to claim based on the requirements. All claims from the Offeror (including all partnership members) shall be contained within the same Self-Scoring Sheet(s)/Workbook(s) for each proposal. Only the information contained within the Self-Scoring Sheet(s)/Workbook(s) will be considered in the evaluation; therefore, the Offeror must include all the information it would like the DHS to consider.
