Aircraft must be equipped with GPS guidance systems and meteorological equipment.

Evaluation criteria are weighted as follows: demonstrated relevant experience and qualifications (45%), compliance with project schedules (25%), compliance with project budgets (25%), and overall responsiveness and clarity (5%). The evaluation process may include a short list of finalists, oral interviews worth up to 20 points, and Best and Final Offers at the GLO's discretion.
