Award will be made by line item to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on evaluation criteria emphasizing past performance, delivery schedule, socioeconomic status, and overall price.
Offerors must complete several mandatory requirements prior to bid submission, including Representations and Certifications via the Online Representations and Certifications Applications (OCRA) at www.sam.gov, Central Contractor Registration, and a DUNS Number.
