Phase 2 In Phase 2, the selected Offeror's will submit the remainder of the technical/performance capability proposals and a price proposal for a seed project.

The Government will evaluate the Phase 2 proposals in accordance with the criteria described for Phase 2 in the solicitation and award 2 or more MATO contracts to the responsible Offerors whose proposals conform with all terms and conditions of the solicitation and whose proposals are determined to represent the overall best value to the Government considering technical design quality, performance capability and/or cost.
