Every source selection addresses quality through one or more non-cost evaluation factors, and FAR 15.304 names personnel qualifications among them 1.
Past performance evaluation should take into account information about key personnel who have relevant experience 2. Section L may instruct offerors to submit proposals in a specific format 3.
Match the labor category
Labor categories carry qualifications: FAR 52.232-7 refers to records that verify the employees meet the qualifications for the labor categories specified in the contract 4.
When a contract includes FAR 52.222-42, that clause identifies the classes of service employees expected to be employed under the contract and the wages and fringe benefits payable to each if they were employed by the contracting agency 5.
Bids2Bank's résumé ranking rewards the same match: 40 points when a proposed role is named in Sections C, L or M 6, 15 when the résumé meets a minimum number of years stated with that role 7, and 10 for each certification the solicitation names, up to 30 8.
Consent and substitutions
In Bids2Bank, a résumé needs the person's recorded agreement to its use in proposals before it can be confirmed 9, and résumés are professional-only by default 10.
After award, only contracting officers acting within the scope of their authority are empowered to execute contract modifications on behalf of the Government 11.
Worked example. Contractor G proposes a program manager whose résumé shows 12 years against a stated minimum of 10 and the certification Section L names. Three months after award she resigns; because G kept a qualified backup with a current résumé, it asks the contracting officer about the substitution the same week.
