Description of Services: This requirement is for the test and evaluation of the F414 Inlet Nozzle Bellmouth Assembly, Part Number 21C14500P10.

To be considered for award, the Offeror must first demonstrate acceptable Technical Capability through the submission of a written Capability Statement, which will be evaluated on a Pass/Fail basis. Technical Capability will be assessed on the Offeror's demonstrated ability to perform the required test, evaluation, and potential repairs on the F414 nozzle assembly in accordance with the Statement of Work (SOW). Among those Offerors determined to be technically acceptable, the award will be made to the Offeror proposing the lowest Total Evaluated Price, which will be calculated as the combined total of the Test and Evaluation (T&E) and the cost of return shipping to the Government's designated destination.
