Contractors must be registered in SAM.gov to be eligible for award, and the final decision will be based on a combination of price, past performance, and other evaluation criteria outlined in the forthcoming solicitation. The Government is not applying commercial item acquisition policies under Part 12, but interested parties may notify the contracting officer within fifteen days if they can provide the item as a commercial product. The solicitation is expected to be issued on June 15, 2026, and will be available exclusively via DIBBS in PDF format; no paper copies will be provided.
