Prospective contractors must demonstrate substantial prime contractor experience, including at least $80,000,000 in annual billed services over the four years preceding November 31, 2025, and over 600,000 annual labor hours from company personnel during the same period. Vendors must also document at least 100 geographically dispersed task orders throughout the United States and its territories and provide specific prime contractor experience in each mission pillar and functional work area within the last 3-5 years. The evaluation will assess capabilities through submitted statements demonstrating relevant experience, geographic presence, management structure, and ability to support all three mission pillars.
