The requirement, issued by the GSA/FAS Automotive Center under solicitation number 47QMCA26Q0050, is a combined synopsis/solicitation governed by FAR Part 12 for commercial products and RFO Part 15 for negotiated acquisitions. Proposals must be submitted in two separate volumes: a Technical Response volume including past performance information without pricing, and a separate Price Volume.
