Partially reviewed: Too large

• Document is MAPS Attachment 0002 — scorecard for Commercial‑Sector Vendors (gating and evaluation criteria).
• Screening gate: defines Commercial‑Sector Vendor (no DoD/USG commercial services contracts in prior 4 years).
• Mandatory CMMC Final Level 2 (self) or higher; requires SPRS screenshot — failure = proposal not evaluated (explicit STOP).
• Certification point values: CMMC Final Level 2 = 3,500 pts (higher points also listed for conditional/scheduled states); ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 27001 each = 3,500 pts.
• Facility clearance points: 1,500 pts for Active SECRET; 2,500 pts for TOP SECRET.
• QP recency: 1,000 pts per QP meeting recency criteria (LOE or Outcome‑Based).
• QP relevance: up to 7,000 pts per QP for meeting 100% of domain technical capabilities (tiered down to 0).
• NAICS alignment: 1,000 pts per QP if aligns with domain NAICS.
• Performance quality (CPARS/PPQ): up to 10,000 pts per QP for Exceptional ratings; zero if Marginal or below; government will use CPARS when available.
• Dollar value: up to 4,000 pts per QP for contract value > $10M (tiered lower amounts for smaller values).
• Passthrough/subcontract rate: up to 6,000 pts per QP if subcontractor performed 0–30% of work; zero pts if >65% subcontracted.
• LOE QP staffing metrics: Vacancy Rate, Time to Fill, Schedule, Completeness each scored (up to 5,000 pts per metric per QP).
• Processing limitation: file is large and only selected sections (section_1_of_2 and section_2_of_2) were extracted; additional sections likely exist that were not reviewed.

Partially reviewed: Too large

• Evaluation is highly points-driven with large weights (examples: Relevance per QP up to 7,000 points; Performance Quality up to 10,000 points per QP; Systems/accounting/purchasing points: 2,000/2,500/3,500 respectively).
• Systems & certifications credit: Government-determined acceptable Property Management System (2,000), Purchasing System (2,500), Accounting System (3,500); Active TOP SECRET Facility Clearance credited (1,000) and elsewhere asks for SECRET facility clearance documentation.

• Past performance rules & exclusions: CPARS will be pulled across five NAICS over last 3 years; if 10%+ of CPARS elements are MARGINAL or below for an Emerging Large Business, offeror is excluded. Performance Quality scoring per QP: Exceptional=10,000; Very Good≈7,500; Satisfactory≈4,500; Neutral=1,000; Marginal or below=0 (no credit).
• QP-specific scoring: Recency (1,000 per QP if within last 2 years), NAICS alignment (1,000 per QP), Dollar value per QP (4,000 if >$25M; 2,000 if $10–25M; 1,000 if $2.5–10M).
• Subcontracting pass-through: strong preference for low subcontractor share — max points (6,000) if subcontractor performed 0–30% of work; 0 points if >65%.
• Staffing metrics: Vacancy Rate (0–5,000 points depending on percent); Time-to-fill for LOE QPs (0–5,000 points depending on days); Schedule/AQL scoring (0–5,000 points depending on % of AQL met).
• Administrative screening: ‘Emerging Large Business’ defined (not small, converted to other-than-small within last 5 years, average annual revenue ≤ $250M over last 5 years) and requires SAM.gov update history or SBA determination and audited financials/CPA letter. Document states a hard stop — failure on screening questions leads to no further evaluation.
• Document limitation: extraction is partial (selected sections only) and the full scorecard may include additional domains, tables, or clarifying definitions not present in the selected sections.

Partially reviewed: Too large

• Document = MAPS - LARGE BUSINESS Attachment 0002 (Scorecard) — scoring and screening guidance for proposal evaluation.

• Passthrough rate scoring per QP: 6,000 points if subcontractor performed 0–30% of work; 0 points if >65% passthrough.
• Vacancy rate scoring (LOE QPs): 0% vacancy = 5,000 points down to 0 points at >=15% vacancy.
• Time-to-fill scoring: <=30 days = 5,000 points; scales down to 0 points at >=75 days.
• The scorecard is explicitly for Large Business proposals (MAPS - LARGE BUSINESS).

Partially reviewed: Too large

• Document = Attachment 0002: Small Business scorecard for MAPS RFP (explicit screening + scored criteria).

• Dollar Value (M.5.5): Up to 4,000 points per QP for contracts >$10M (tiered down for smaller values).
• Passthrough Rate (M.5.6): Strong preference for low subcontractor share: 6,000 points per QP if subcontractor performed 0–30% of work; zero if >65%.
• Staffing metrics (M.5.7.1/2): Vacancy rate, Time‑to‑Fill scored heavily (e.g., 5,000 points for 0% vacancy or ≤30 days to fill); multiple schedule/AQL/completeness metrics with substantial point weight per QP.
• Three QPs are assessed (QP 1–3) with the same scoring buckets across many criteria, indicating multiple task/line items evaluated individually.
• Stop condition: Several screening items (CMMC, Secret clearance, ISO 9001, small business certification, CPARS threshold question) are fatal if answered NO.

• Document is the QP form (Attachment 0003) required to submit past-performance examples for MAPS evaluation.
• Requires copy of the Contract/Agreement and Contracting Party POC — enables verification of past performance (useful for Past Performance scoring).
• Period of Performance constraint: for Large/Emerging Large/Small businesses QP must be ≥1 year and ≤4 years old from final solicitation date; Commercial vendors require completed projects — limits eligible past-performance windows.
• Requests mapping to Technical Capabilities in Section 3.0 of the PWS and PWS/SOW/TGL mapping — needed to demonstrate Technical Fit to specific MAPS domains.
• Asks for NAICS code or best-fit NAICS — relevant to Trace NAICS alignment (541330 listed in opportunity metadata).
• Collects workforce metrics: Vacancy Rate and Average Time to Fill — signals emphasis on staffing stability and resourcing (affects Risk scoring).
• Captures Passthrough Rate (subcontracted amount), Schedule Rate, and Completeness/Efficiency metrics — useful to assess subcontract reliance and delivery performance.
• Includes CAGE code and legal-entity attestation plus space to describe relationship if QP performed by an affiliate — relevant to compliance and incumbency/team composition checks.
• Form asks whether Attachment 0004 PPQs will be submitted for each QP — indicates additional past-performance detail requirements.

• Designates past performance window: “within the past four years” — sets timeframe for relevant references.
• Request for contract metadata: contract number, award and completion dates, prime/sub info, NAICS code — useful to match Trace past wins.
• Adjectival rating scale included: Exceptional, Very Good, Satisfactory, Marginal, Unsatisfactory — evaluators must justify lower ratings.
• Evaluation factors listed: Regulatory Compliance, Cost Control, Management, Quality, Schedule — these are explicitly weighted evaluation topics for past performance assessment.
• Small Business Subcontracting assessment referenced with FAR Subpart 19.7 and 15 U.S.C. 637 — gov’t will evaluate small-business subcontracting effort.
• Form is to be completed by Government/Customer POC (not offeror) for inclusion in award decision — indicates reliance on third-party references for past performance scoring.
• File labeled Attachment 0004 and dated 27MAR2026, tying it to the current MAPS RFP draft package and timeline.

No current live SAM.gov attachment matches this stored row.

• Lists a deleted attachment named: MAPS Request For Proposal (RFP) Draft 6 - 27MAR2026.docx
• Indicates this is Draft 6 of the MAPS RFP with a 27MAR2026 timestamp in the filename
• No substantive solicitation text included here—attachment removal limits ability to assess requirements, scope, or evaluation criteria from this file alone
• Signals that a draft RFP existed and may be obtainable elsewhere (e.g., other attachments or source links), so follow-up retrieval is needed for scoring
