Equitable performance comparison and economic evaluation

An evaluation of active and passive solar energy systems is made which assigns to both systems an equal energy demand Active systems with baseline energy requirements equivalent to those of passive systems are identified by making a careful accounting of what passive solar energy properly belongs in the building load This analysis allows an equitable economic

Establishing Evaluation Criteria

The nature and types of evaluation criteria to be used for an acquisition are within the broad discretion of the agency Price or cost must be an evaluation factor in every source selection Past performance must be an evaluation factor (in accordance with the FAR criteria in 15 304) unless the contracting officer in writing determines otherwise
