The degree to which the proposal describes how barriers (that have prevented the identified problem or need from being addressed and /or resolved in the past) will be overcome by the proposed effort The degree to which the proposal demonstrates awareness of competing and emerging technologies and identifies how the proposed concept provides significant improvements over other solutions to the AF needs being addressed The degree to which the proposal identifies, quantifies, and explains Key Performance Parameters for the technology and measurable success criteria for the project The degree to which the project plans to obtain or leverage additional or external resources, and the credibility of that plan The strength of the proposal team including the capabilities, facilities, experience and ability of the team to successfully complete the project Technology Dissemination to America Makes Members and Impact to the USAF (30%) The degree to the proposal articulates a plan to transition the project results (including software and hardware) to the USAF and America Makes members The degree to the proposal articulates the potential widespread usage of the transitioned technology and its impact on the defense industrial base The degree to the proposal will likely impact the USAF and broader DoD supply chain in regard to: ensuring transferable data exchange of project deliverables within the America Makes member community; outlining the current maturity level of the technology and the target maturity needed for successful transition; identifying key transition decision points; and determining transition milestones and anticipated transition schedule. Program Management Approach (15%) The degree to which the proposal provides a description of the organizational structure for the project, clearly identifying the role, and responsibilities of each participant, including subcontractors
