The government will award the contract by line item to the lowest responsive and responsible offeror, with key evaluation criteria including pricing, SAM.gov registration, and willingness to accept Electronic Funds Transfer payments. Vendors must follow strict submission guidelines, and failure to comply may result in bid rejection.
