Evaluation uses lowest price technically acceptable criteria, with technical acceptability on an acceptable/unacceptable basis. Offerors must submit detailed past performance information, completed Standard Form 1449, acknowledgment of all three amendments (including Amendment 3 with attachment C05h_SF30_12444126Q0032_A0003 required with proposals), and a technical approach addressing performance requirements.
