Common Criteria

Furthermore, shall place the order with the schedule contractor that represents the best value. Similarly, FAR 15.305 describes the proposal evaluation as an assessment of the proposal and the offeror’s ability to perform the prospective contract successfully. An agency shall evaluate competitive proposals and then assess their relative qualities solely on the factors and subfactors specified in the solicitation. Evaluations may be conducted using any rating method or a combination of methods. The evaluation also covers relative strengths, deficiencies, significant weaknesses, and risks supporting proposal evaluation shall be documented in the contract file. During the evaluation process, both methods are required to follow the evaluation criteria stated during the solicitation stage. Additionally, both should use the more accurate techniques to select the best value for the government. A difference identified during evaluation is that, in FAR 8.405-2 is not mandatory to evaluate past performance, on the other hand FAR 15.304 states that past performance, shall be evaluated in all source selections for negotiated competitive acquisitions expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold, except if the contracting officer documents the reason past performance is not an appropriate evaluation factor for the acquisition. It is important to note that although both methods are similar in the evaluation process, Federal Supply Schedules offers a simplified process, as a…

Once I reached to the Commons, it was quite crowded and quite obvious that this was the place where all of the cliques and groups of Portage High School enjoyed hanging out. I trotted around talking to people hoping to make friends. Many people gave me a lot of funny looks and rejected me as I attempted to include myself in their groups. However, I was lucky enough that the theater kids accepted me as I was and even asked me to sit with them at lunch. I could not believe that I already had made…

In this situation there is a lot of power given to each individual who shares the common land. Because they all want to maximize their own profits it is up to each person to share the commons fairly. If a group of people from a different country, race, or ethnicity from the people who originally shared the commons joined the community a lot of prejudice towards that person may occur. This type of prejudice can be similar to the kind that Ta-Nehisi Coates experienced in his book “Between the…

much in order to secure him or herself. For example, if the common area is a pond, one may catch too many fish to ensure a meal for an entire month so that he or she may survive. This creates a selfishness in society, generating a cycle of these three events. According to Rousseau humans have the ability to either be the selfish individual or not associate him or herself with these negative actions. Animals do not have any idea, and will take as much fish from the pond as necessary to feed its…

Vendor Selection Optimization In Supply Chain Management Abstract— An effective vendor selection process is very important to the success of any manufacturing organization. Simply looking for vendors offering the lowest prices is not efficient sourcing any more. We propose a multi-criteria decision making method, which accounts for both vendor selection and optimal order allocation. We also propose a policy for unselected vendors to maintain a competitive environment and derive maximum…

Professor Victor Miguel Ponce (2014) defines the Tragedy of the Commons as, “a natural resource shared by many individuals, in the absence of regulation, each individual will have a tendency to exploit the commons to his/her own advantage, typically without limit. Under this state of affairs, the commons is depleted and eventually ruined.” Ashford University is currently facing a “tragedy of commons” that presently affects many students including myself. I believe it has stemmed from the…

numerous tragedies of the commons as labelled by Garrett Hardin. One of the most prevalent is the increasing rate of population while the resources does not have any change. The current world has an urge population equivalent to seventh billion. People need all these resources in order to survive such as; oxygen, food, and water which are between the most essential needs of human being. The main issue is the increase in population whereas these resources are limited. According to Garrett Hardin…

Contracts are governed by either the common law or the Uniform Commercial Code. If the contract involves the sale of goods, it is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code and if it deals with anything other than sales of goods, then it is governed by the common law (Seaquist, 2012, p. 137). Sometimes however, a contract can have elements of both. For example, if the contract John Sauté signed said that he had to provide the kitchen, utilities, utensils and all ingredients, then it would have…
