The government will retain five tubes, with priority on the first tube after the burner due to frequent heat-related failure.

Offerors must submit a 20 percent bid guarantee, SF 1442 with pricing, past performance information for two recent relevant projects, technical capability statements for prime and any subcontractors, and a Financial Institution Reference Sheet. Evaluation weighs past performance (two references), technical capability and subcontractor teaming (pass/fail), and price, with non-price factors approximately equal to price.
