Technical compliance is enforced through destination inspection by government personnel, referencing the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, and source-controlled drawings. No evaluation factors or basis of award are explicitly stated, but the requirement for cybersecurity certification and strict adherence to packaging and material prohibitions suggests a strong emphasis on technical acceptability.
