The award will be Firm Fixed Price with 12-month warranty. Contract value is below the simplified acquisition threshold. Evaluation uses Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methodology, rating technical capability as Acceptable or Unacceptable based on conformance to brand name specifications. NAICS 334516, PSC 6630.
