B.2 SCOPE OF WORK

The Contractor shall provide all resources (except as may be expressly stated in the contract as furnished by the Government) necessary to perform the requirements set forth in the Software, Robotics, & Simulation Division (SRSD) Simulation and Software Technology (SST) III Statement of Work specified in Section C.

B.3 CONTRACT TYPE

The contract type for the Simulation & Software Technology III (SST III) effort is a Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), with the capability to issue Cost-Plus- Fixed-Fee (CPFF) and Firm Fixed Priced (FFP) Task Orders. The Government may issue Task Orders as either CPFF or FFP as applicable and appropriate throughout the life of the contract.

The phase-in effort will be Firm-Fixed Price (FFP).

B.4 CONTRACT VALUE

The contract value will be periodically and unilaterally updated as IDIQ task orders are issued/amended. During the intervals between periodic updates of this clause, there may be some discrepancy with the total amount for the IDIQ task orders issued/amended and values shown in this clause. Actual total contract value is the sum of phase-in price plus the total value of all task orders issued/amended (FFP and CPFF).
