Evaluation Criteria - Proposals will be evaluated based on:

• Compliance with vessel and facility requirements.

• Security measures to protect sensitive training operations.

• Cost-effectiveness and overall value to the government.

The Government will evaluate the offeror's ability to meet all material requirements in the SOW as identified in the Technical Section of their offer. Technical capability and understanding will be rated to the extent the Offeror can clearly and fully demonstrate that it has a thorough understanding of the requirements and can successfully meet the requirements. The Technical Section must be rated Acceptable in all subsections to receive an overall Acceptable rating.

(ii) Price - The quoted price will be determined by the total price provided in the pricing schedule.

Interested contractors must submit a proposal demonstrating compliance with the specifications outlined in this Statement of Work.

Proposals should include:

• Detailed vessel specifications.

• Documentation of past performance supporting similar military or law enforcement training operations.
