Evaluation uses a Best Value Trade-Off approach, with technical acceptability and past performance significantly more important than price.

Past performance must include three examples of successful, timely completion of similar commercial installation projects from federal, state, or local government. All offerors must maintain current, active SAM.gov registration. Quotes must be submitted via email to khalilah_brown@ios.doi.gov and include total project price, estimated days to completion, proposed gate solution, and warranty period.
