The contract mandates compliance with defense priorities and allocations system (DPAS) rating, and all invoicing must be submitted electronically via Wide Area Workflow.

All offerors must be registered in SAM.gov, hold a valid UEI and CAGE code, and affirm small business status as this is a total small business set-aside.
