2.4.4.3 Completeness. The Government will evaluate completeness by assessing the
level of detail provided in cost data and documentation, and assessing the traceability of
estimates.
2.5 General Considerations. The following general considerations are listed in order of
importance:
1. Pre-EMD price.
2. The Offeror's acceptance of contractual terms and conditions.
3. The extent to which the Offeror identifies and commits to small and small
disadvantaged business contracts.
2.5.1 Pre-EMD Price. For the Pre-EMD price, the Government will assess the realism,
reasonableness, and completeness as defined in paragraphs 2.4.4.1 - 2.4.4.3. The
Government will also assess the MPC of the instant contract price. The Pre-EMD price
MPC will consider Government Furnished Property (GFP) and technical risks or
uncertainties.
2.6 Evaluation Standards. The evaluation standards for each area and factor are
provided below. Note: A reference to a specific template(s) within the standards does
not imply that the template(s) will be the sole source of information to answer the
standard.
2.6.1 Area 1: Affordability. The Government will consider the Offeror's LCCE (50%
CL) and the MPC against the recurring cost reduction threshold of 25% (with an
objective of 50%) from $20.6B (FY95$) and the EMD cost target of $1.4B (FY95$).
The Offeror's LCCE (50% CL), the Government's MPC, and the Government's
assessment of Performance Risk comprise the Affordability component of the SSA's
integrated assessment. (Template No. 17)
2.6.2 Area 2: User Requirements
2.6.2.1 Factor 1: Performance
STANDARD 1: MASS TO ORBIT. The system design has the ability to deliver the
Government portion of LCCV SPD Annex A, Table 1b, National Mission Model
(NMM) reference missions to required orbit(s). This standard is met if:
a) The EELV system is capable, with a 99% assurance, of delivering the required
mass to the delivery orbit of the Government portion of the reference missions
cited in the NMM). (Template No. 9)
b) Launch vehicle dry weight growth margins are commensurate with the maturity of
the hardware and the phase of design.
STANDARD 2: PERFORMANCE MARGIN. The system design provides some
level of margin over the payload weights provided in the NMM. This standard is met
if the system design provides, with a 99% assurance, for some specified level of
margin over the payload weights provided in the NMM. (Template No. 9)
timeline variations, ground support system downtimes, and unscheduled vehicle
maintenance activities.
c) The Offeror's maintainability and maintenance concepts emphasize rapid fault
detection and isolation, and are commensurate with launch rate and schedule
dependability requirements.
STANDARD 6: LAUNCH RESPONSIVENESS. To ensure scheduled launch
timeliness and to accommodate unplanned launches, the LV shall be capable of
rapidly and repeatedly responding to requests for launches. This standard is met if:
a) The LV system is capable of supporting an unscheduled DoD launch in less time
than the current processing timelines of 45 days for MLV and 180 for HLV.
(Template No. 12)
b) The response capability is based on a timeline analysis which includes processing
the vehicle, mating the launch vehicle with the payload, and final processing for
launch. (Template No. 12)
STANDARD 7: CRISIS REPLENISHMENT (SURGE). The EELV system shall
include a capability to surge above the scheduled number of missions in the NMM.
This standard is met if the Offeror defines and substantiates the number of extra
missions and the associated time to launch these missions in response to a crisis
situation. (Template No. 12)
STANDARD 8: PAYLOAD FLIGHT ENVIRONMENT. The EELV system
provides a suitable flight environment for the Government payloads of the NMM.
This standard is met if:
a) The acoustic environment within the fairing is commensurate with the levels
acceptable by the Government payloads of the NMM, as delineated in LCCV
SPD Annex C.
b) The maximum shock spectrum at the payload interface is compatible with the
levels acceptable by the Government payloads of the NMM, as delineated in
LCCV SPD paragraph 3.2.3.3.3, Pyro Shock.
2.6.2.2 Factor 2: Reliability
STANDARD: VEHICLE Design Reliability. The Offeror's concept meets LCCV
SPD vehicle design reliability requirements. This standard is met if:
a) Design reliability for each LV, including hardware, software, and firmware, from
launch commit through CCAM is at least 0.98 (at a 50% confidence level) for the
LV. (Template No. 14)
3.6 File Directory 2: Model Contract, Attachments, and Supporting
Documentation. This directory shall include the following files. Specific instructions
for these files can be found in paragraph 3.8. Signatures are not required within the
electronic files listed below. Instead, state somewhere in each applicable file that the
original paper copy has been signed.

Additionally, provide a file (OFFRINFO.PDF) limited to ten pages which provides a
system concept overview and additional information related to the Offeror's approach.
The system concept overview is limited to five pages and shall also identify any concept
or performance parameter changes since PDR. The remainder of the ten pages is left to
the Offeror's discretion to highlight
significant features of the Offeror's approach. The Government will evaluate this
information against all areas.
3.7.2 Late Risk Reduction Activities
3.7.2.1 Initial Submittal. These instructions apply to those tests or demonstrations
identified by the Offeror and pre-approved by the EELV contracting officer prior to CFI
release. Include a description of each test or demonstration and the associated objectives.

test or demonstration. (Total page count for this file will be based on the number of tests
or demonstrations pre-approved by the contracting officer.)
3.7.2.2 Update. No later than 21 days after proposal submittal, provide an update to this
information in a file titled RISKACT2.PDF which states the results of these activities
and how the results impact or mitigate specific program risks. None of the information
contained in the original file RISKACT1.PDF shall be changed. Limit file
RISKACT2.PDF to two additional pages, to include text and illustrations, for each pre-approved test or demonstration (for a total of up to 4 pages for each test or
demonstration). (Total page count for this file will be based on the number of tests or
demonstrations pre-approved by the contracting officer.) Submittal of RISKACT2.PDF
is subject to the late proposals clause (FAR 52.215-10). Submit this file on a CD-ROM
or 3.5" MS Windows-compatible diskette to the address in paragraph 3.2.1.
3.7.3 Relevant Past Performance

rental value of other categories of GFP shall be calculated in accordance with FAR
52.245-9 to the maximum extent practicable; however, other equitable valuation methods
may be used as appropriate. If no GFP is required, so state. Identify commercial
alternatives (including cost and schedule impact) for each item listed in Attachment 6 of
the model contract, in the event the Government cannot provide the item.
