This effort will be a best value source selection conducted in accordance with Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFFARS) 5315.3 Source Selection and the AFMC supplement (AFMCFARS). Award will be made to the offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), whose proposal conforms to the solicitation's requirements and is judged to represent the best value to the Government. Best Value means the expected outcome of an acquisition that, in the Government's estimation, provides the greatest overall benefit in response to the requirement. The proposed contract will be Firm-fixed Price for a total of 1,545 Central Processor Units (CPUs). Five of these will be subjected to first article testing. The CPUs will be procured in four increments. Aninitial procurement of 136 units is planned for the basic year and three additional option years of 468 units each.

The new CPU must comply with the performance and interface requirements identified in the performance-based acquisition specification. This acquisition is a 100% small business set aside (SIC code: 3679). The solicitation with all attachments will be posted at http://eps.gov.
