The solicitation will be awarded using Lowest Priced, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation criteria, with technical proposals evaluated on Technical Capability (Factor 1) and Delivery (Factor 2). Written questions must be submitted by March 3, 2026, at 3:00 PM EST, and complete quotations are due by March 12, 2026, at 3:00 PM EST.
