Offers will be evaluated in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulations Part 13.5. Qualifications that will be evaluated are company capabilities, personnel, and relevant experience, understanding the needs of the VA Police Officers concerning training and work to be performed. The approach to fulfilling this will be made on a "Best Value" analysis.
