The contract will be awarded via a firm fixed price, lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) process, with the government developing an independent cost estimate to ensure fair and reasonable pricing. Performance is anticipated to begin on September 1, 2026, and extend through August 31, 2030, inclusive of a base period and three optional one-year extension periods.
