Telesto Group LLC Achieves Highest GSA Evaluation Score Possible

Telesto Group LLC achieved the highest evaluation score possible as a result of GSA’s Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) compliance audit, which took place on January 12, 2010.  The score of “Exceptional” was granted to Telesto Group.  This score reflects the company’s efforts to “go above and beyond” those requirements delineated in our MAS.

On the GSA Report Card, each evaluation area is classified as mandatory-critical, mandatory but not critical, or above-and-beyond.   Nine topics are determined to be mandatory-critical. If all mandatory-critical items are met, ratings will range from "very good" to "satisfactory" to "marginal" depending on performance on the other eleven mandatory but not critical items.

Six topics reflect efforts to go above and beyond the contractual requirements.  Contractors who receive a "Very Good" based on the mandatory criteria, and achieve at least five of six of these extra credit areas, get an "Exceptional" overall rating.

MAS Report Cards are issued midway through each five year contract term and again within six to twelve months prior to contract expiration.  MAS Contracting Officers use the report cards as a part of their review of past performance for making a decision on exercising the contract option(s).
