The selection process is two-phase: Phase I evaluates experience, qualifications, and resources/workload capacity to shortlist three to five finalists; Phase II requires finalists to submit technical approaches and past performance information for final ranking and award. The contract amount will be determined through negotiation with the highest-ranked finalist using lump sum, cost plus fixed fee, cost per unit of work, or specific rate of compensation.
