The government will evaluate proposals using a best-value trade-off source selection method, with technical factors (experience and resumes) and past performance significantly more important than price, and offerors must demonstrate a minimum of three years of relevant U.S. Government contract experience with references totaling at least $4,000,000 awarded within the last five years. Proposals are due by 11:00 AM on January 5, 2026, with an amendment issued on December 22, 2025, and the government has emphasized that due dates in the solicitation will have no exceptions.

The contract has a base performance period of 4 months (February 24, 2026 through June 23, 2026) followed by three 12-month option periods and a potential 6-month extension, for a total performance period not exceeding 3.5 years, with pricing structured as primarily Firm-Fixed-Price and cost-reimbursable elements for Other Direct Costs. The contract scope includes supporting cloud-agnostic, containerized solutions across IL-2, IL-4, and IL-5 environments, potentially spanning AWS GovCloud and Azure Government platforms, with ambitious technical objectives such as knowledge graph development targeting one billion graph edges.
