The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation on the basis of the lowest evaluated priced offer meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers in the following relative order of importance:

1.Price 2.Technical

Price – Award will be based on initial response. Offerors are encouraged to quote their most advantageous pricing up front. The Government will first rank quotations in order from lowest to highest total price.

Technical – The lowest priced quotation will be evaluated for technical capability, which is defined by the offeror’s ability to meet the Government’s key technical requirements as outlined below. Offerors must provide a detailed narrative demonstrating how their proposed solution meets the exact specifications listed in the Salient Characteristics and addresses the following functional areas:

(1) ADS-B Integration – How the system ingests, displays, and utilizes ADS-B data for airspace awareness and de-confliction.

(2) Counter-UAS (cUAS) Integration – How the solution integrates with or supports interoperability with existing or planned counter-UAS systems, specifically the JB Counter SUAS System.

(3) Mission Planning – How mission planning is conducted, including route design, risk assessments, and real-time deconfliction with other sUAS.

(4) Crew Management – How the system tracks personnel qualifications, training, duty status, and crew assignments.

(5) Real-Time Monitoring – Capabilities for live tracking, telemetry monitoring, and alerting during operations.

(6) Regulatory Compliance – How the system ensures compliance with FAA and DoD security and flight safety regulations (e.g., Security protocols, Part 91 COA operations, flight logging, and reporting).

a. Technically acceptable – Offeror’s quote meets exact specifications listed in the Salient Characteristics and provides a satisfactory narrative addressing all required functional areas.

b. Technically unacceptable - Offeror’s quote fails to meet exact specifications or does not adequately address the required functional areas.

If the lowest priced quotation is determined to be technically acceptable, then the offer represents the best value for the Government and the evaluation process stops at this point. If the lowest priced quotation is not determined to be technically acceptable, then the next lowest priced quotation will be evaluated, and the process will continue until an offer is found to be technically acceptable, or until all offers have been evaluated. The Government shall then make a best value award decision.

The Government intends to award a contract without interchanges with respective offerors. The Government, however, does reserve the right to hold interchanges with one, some, none, or all offerors.
