Proposals were due by 2:00 PM Pacific Time on November 20, 2025, and will be evaluated using a 100-point scale allocating 30 points to background and qualifications, 45 points to scope of work, and 25 points to fees. The contract term extends from the effective date through August 31, 2027, with an option to renew for two additional years.
