However, the Government reserves the right to perform, or have performed by others, any services required within the Primary Contract Area, and doing so shall not breach or otherwise violate this contract. The contract performance period for this acquisition will be one base year with four one year option periods. The five year period for this contract is the maximum allowed by FAR 17.204(e). The Maximum Ordering Limitations (MOL) under these contracts will be allocated per contract, per year, by pool. A contract can be awarded for the Small Projects Pool, just the Large Projects Pool, or both project pools. The MOL is $2,000,000 per contract year for the Small Projects Pool, $6,000,000 per contract year for the Large Projects Pool and $8,000,000 per contract year for both pools. The MOL is applicable for the sum of all task orders awarded under that contract per year regardless of the value of individual task orders. Task order modifications can be negotiated to adjust for unforeseen site conditions, added work, or equitable adjustment.

The Source Selection procedures under FAR Part 15 will be followed as the method of selecting the successful offerors. The evaluation of competitive small business proposals submitted in response to the Request for Proposals (RFP) will be conducted based on a best value determination. Awards will be made using tradeoffs between technical rating and price, so the Government can consider award to other than the lowest priced proposal or the highest technically rated offeror, but rather to the offerors representing the best value to the Government considering technical and price factors. There are two hypothetical projects associated with this IDIQ solicitation, which are representative of some types of work which will be covered by this set of multiple-award contracts. For Offerors submitting a proposal to be primary for only the Large Projects Pool, only Hypothetical Project A will be required and evaluated for rating, and its score will be 100% of the Hypothetical Project total score for that Offeror. For Offerors submitting a proposal to be primary for only the Small Projects Pool, both the hypothetical projects will be required and evaluated for rating. The scores from Hypothetical Projects A and B will be averaged to calculate the total Hypothetical Projects score for that Offeror. For Offerors submitting a proposal to be considered primary for both the Large and Small Project Pools, both hypothetical projects will be required and evaluated for rating. The government intends to award contracts without discussions; however, the government reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined to be in the best interest of the government. Initial proposals must contain the best offer. The government may conduct clarifications, as described in FAR 15.306(a). Extensive market research supports a total small business set-aside, which was approved on the Small Business Analysis Record, GSA Form 2689, on March 27, 2023.
