Evaluation
Award will be based on Best Value, considering the ability to provide the complete requirement, meet the required timeframe, and price. Vendors must have an active SAM.gov registration or proof of submission. Proposed substitutions require accompanying specification sheets for evaluation.
Additional Notes
Invoicing will be processed through IPP (https://www.ipp.gov). The agency conducted market research but found the necessary technical data for alternative equipment unavailable, and the OEM (Volvo Penta) is the sole possessor of required manufacturing information. Future acquisitions will continue market research to identify potential competitive sources.
