Description
The Department of Defense (DoD) is seeking feedback on the draft evaluation criteria for the Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) for Research & Engineering (R&E) Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) Consortium. The selection of a Consortium Manager will follow a multi-step competitive evaluation process. The Government will evaluate the offeror's strategy to achieve lifecycle goals through a modular business and technical architecture, as well as their ability to manage a diverse community of nontraditional and traditional defense contractors. The key factors for evaluation include Technical & MOSA Implementation Approach, Consortium Management & Operations, Past Performance, and Cost/Price.
Some key points to consider are:
• The offeror's approach to preventing vendor lock-in and ensuring key interfaces are based on widely supported consensus standards.
• The effectiveness of the proposed process for validating that consortium member deliverables adhere to specified MOSA standards.
• The degree to which the proposed IP and data rights approach enables the Government to exercise Government Purpose Rights (GPR) for future competitive acquisitions and sustainment activities.
• The robustness of plans to mitigate technical, schedule, and programmatic risks in accordance with recognized standards.
• The quality and maturity of collaborative development environments, shared digital infrastructure, and processes that facilitate technical data exchange and distributed development across consortium members.
