In order for the business to qualify for a proposal on this project their CCR registration must clasify them as a Small Business under the aforementioned NAICS code. This is a onetime procurement of the M872 Series Large (49 ea) Box (FABX023) that will be awarded to Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) offeror and is subject to the availability of funds. 

The format for proposal should be on Company Letterhead (attached to e-mail/not in body of e-mail) addressing the essential construction procedures and timeline in which the company if awarded will construct each unit and the quality control plan that will be in place to inspect each item prior to shipment.  Merely re-stating that the units will be constructed and delivered within 30 days in accordance with the Solicitation will not constitute a "Technically Acceptable Proposal" and will be subsequently dismissed from consideration for award regardless of price point. 

The 30 day clock for unit delivery begins after acceptance of the first article by the KS-RSMS.
