The Government will evaluate submissions based on responses to the technical questions, relevant prior contract experience from the past 3-5 years with government references, company qualifications, security capabilities, small business status, and subcontracting structure. Capability statements must include company information, CAGE Code, Unique Entity ID, and confirmation of intent to submit a proposal if an RFP is issued; the Government will not reimburse respondents for preparation costs and reserves the right to use submitted information for any legally appropriate purpose.
