The contract is a firm-fixed-price lump sum award under NAICS code 541618, with a performance period of 60 days from the start of field assessments. Award will be based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) process, evaluating offerors on relevant experience, qualified personnel, technical approach, and schedule compliance.
