Among these factors are current capacity of the contracts, ability of the AE to perform the task in the required time, any unique specialized experience that the AE can offer, and performance and quality of deliverables under the AE's current IDTC, along with customer responsiveness. While this process is necessarily a "subjective" process, the intent of this contract is to satisfy customer needs in an expeditious and cost effective mode. The concentration of work will be for Ft.
