- Conforms to all solicitation requirements (terms and conditions, representations, certifications, and technical requirements).
- Has the lowest Total Evaluated Price among the technically acceptable offerors. The Government does not imply, nor is it the Government's intention, to conduct the evaluations in sequential order (i.e., technical evaluation does not necessarily have to precede price evaluation).

Additional Notes
Regarding the First Article timeline, the Government estimates that production of the two (2) First Article units will require six (6) to twelve (12) months, followed by an additional six (6) to twelve (12) months for First Article Testing (FAT) prior to full-rate production. Therefore, the Government anticipates mass delivery to occur in 2029, contingent upon successful FAT and validation of a viable product.
