All quoters must maintain active SAM.gov registration at submission and throughout performance. Evaluation uses three factors: Technical Capability (with preference for electron acceleration potential up to 20 kV, 25 kV, or 30 kV); Prior Demonstrated Experience; and Price (evaluated only for quotations rated above Low Confidence in non-price factors). Non-price factors combined weigh more heavily than price. Low Confidence ratings result in no further evaluation. Pre-quote inquiries are due within five calendar days of solicitation issuance. Submit quotations to tracy.retterer@nist.gov and donald.collier@nist.gov.
