The solicitation requires offerors to submit three volumes: Volume I (Past Performance and Technical Approach), Volume II (Cost/Price Proposal), and Volume III (Administrative Requirements). Past performance examples must be within 10 years of the December 2, 2024 RFP issue date. Technical evaluations will be conducted using a combined technical/risk rating system with ratings from Outstanding to Unacceptable.
