## Description

30 June 2025 Update The Government requests industry feedback regarding the questions below. It is imperative to get feedback from Industry to ensure the proposed Acquisition Strategy is the right choice. The self-scoring matrix is continuously changing at this time based on the feedback received, to ensure we are capturing the necessary information while not inaccurately reducing the interest in this requirement. The Government’s intention is not to reduce competition using a phased approach. The goal is to ensure all those that are capable of meeting the Government’s requirements, make it to phase two. The Government understands Industry has expressed concern that some of the standards for technical experiences included in the Phase I Self-Scoring Matrix are unreasonably high. The Government requests industry submit specific examples of which standards are too high, so these standards can be re-evaluated. How would you like to be incentivized to use innovative solutions? Please include examples of any solicitations/contracts that offered good incentives for innovation. How would you like the Government to evaluate innovation in phase two? Please include examples of any solicitations that offered good incentives for innovation. The Government is currently considering use of award term options for years 11-20 as an incentive for innovative solutions. If award terms are used, the Government intends to have Offerors submit their proposed innovations and standard for triggering award of the additional option years with submission of their phase II proposals. The Government requests feedback on industry interest in using award terms to incentivize innovation. The Government is adding the attachment below to this post.
