This document provides instructions for offerors submitting proposals in response to a Request For Quote (RFQ). The award criteria are based on the "Lowest Price Technically Acceptable" approach, requiring proposals to be rated as either "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable" against specified technical evaluation criteria. Offerors must submit a complete proposal by the specified deadline, including acknowledgment of RFQ amendments, a technical proposal aligned with evaluation criteria, and a price proposal meeting the Statement of Work (SOW) specifications. Proposals submitted late will be deemed "Non-Responsive."

Technical acceptability must meet the SOW's requirements, and failure to demonstrate capability results in an unacceptable rating. The submission deadline is September 23, 2024, by 1:00 pm CST, with proposals directed to designated army representatives. Overall, this document establishes a structured process for proposal evaluation and emphasizes adherence to specified technical and administrative requirements, ensuring compliance and accountability in federal contracting processes.

This memorandum outlines the justification for an acquisition of the Tiger Tug Model 8.0 under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13, citing other than full and open competition.
