A single first article test unit is required, with delegated approval authority assigned to DCMA. All invoices must be submitted electronically via WAWF, and compliance with FAR and DFARS clauses, including employment reporting on veterans and sustainable products, is enforced. The solicitation evaluates proposals based on past performance, offered delivery, and price to determine best value, with no use of LPTA methodology.
