In Phase 2, the selected Offerors will submit technical proposals for the initial task order, the task order summary schedule, and a price proposal for the task order only. The Government will evaluate the Phase 2 proposals, in accordance with the criteria described for Phase 2 in the solicitation, and award the contract to the responsible Offeror, whose proposal conforms with all the terms and conditions of the solicitation and whose proposal is determined to represent the overall best value to the Government, considering technical quality, performance capability, and cost. Award of the subsequent IDIQ contracts will be made to the Offeror(s) whose proposal(s) is (are) considered to represent the second and up to a target of five best value(s) to the Government based on the evaluated ratings from Phase 2 and the proposed price for the initial task order.
