This requirement is being issued by Gov.Works under the franchise authority of the Department of the Interior on behalf of the United States Army Medical Materiel Agency (USAMMA) in accordance with FAR 13.5, Test Program for Certain Commercial Items.

In order to support this requirement an Interpreting Service Contract must be established as soon as possible. The following is a list of requirements: 1.

Contract award shall be made to the responsible Offeror whose offer, in conforming to this RFQ, provides an overall best value to the Government, technical evaluation factors and cost considered. References to evaluate past performance must be provided. The Government's objective is to obtain the highest technical quality considered necessary to achieve the project objectives, with a realistic and reasonable cost. Technical evaluation factors are more important than cost; however, between proposals that are evaluated as technically equal in quality, cost will become a major consideration in selecting the successful Offeror.
