Under this RFP, and in accordance with RFO 36.101-2(b), following the evaluation of Phase I proposals, the Contracting Officer will select the most highly qualified offerors up to three, unless the Government determines that a greater number is in its best interests, and via an amendment to the solicitation invite those offerors to submit Phase II proposals for the Seed Task Order Construct Administration Building 306 .
