If a firm is competing for this contract under a contractor team arrangement as defined in FAR Subpart 9.6, the firm must submit, along with their SF 330, a written agreement identifying the contractor team arrangements and fully disclosing the company relationships. In the event this written documentation is not complete at the time of the SF330 submission, the partnership or joint venture (JV) shall submit a notarized letter of intent documenting the intent to form the partnership or JV to act as a potential prime contractor for award of this contract and fully disclosing the company relationships.

1.2. Contract Capacity. The aggregate capacity for this procurement is ninety million U.S. dollars ($90,000,000.00). The Government intends to award a target of eight (8) Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contracts with a shared capacity of $90,000,000.00. Each awarded contract will have a seven (7) year ordering period consisting of a five (5) year basic performance period and subsequent one 2-year option period of performance. Awards are expected to be made by approximately April 2022.

1.3. Task Orders. Award of task orders under this IDIQ contract are anticipated to vary from a minimum of $2,500.00 to a maximum of $2,000,000.00 per task order. The task order maximum may be exceeded with agreement between the Contractor and the Government. A minimum guarantee of $500.00 for the contract will be funded at award. Should the firm be selected for Contract, the minimum guarantee will be applied to the initial task order. Each task order will have a project-specific period of performance.

When Fair Opportunity is provided, all firms awarded an IDIQ contract, including any small business, may compete for selection as the most highly qualified firm for that task order, with task order award evaluation being based on lowest price technically acceptable. However, please note, that if a Firm is submitting a proposal on a task order as a Prime, then the Firm cannot submit a proposal on the same task order as a Subcontractor. The Government reserves the right to ask for updated SF- 330s later, or at task order level, from the firms awarded a contract under this announcement.

6. ON/OFF RAMP

6.1. Off Ramp: Each Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDIQ) holder is expected to successfully perform the terms of their subsequent task orders, and to promptly improve performance when it does not meet the terms of the orders.

If an IDIQ holder fails to meet these expectations, it is the Government’s intent to “off-ramp” the Contractor by:

a. Permitting such Contractor’s IDIQ to expire instead of exercising the Option; or

b. Implementing a termination for convenience (if applicable and only if such action is in the Government’s best interest); or

c. Implementing a termination for default, if applicable; or

d. Taking any other action, which may be permitted under the Contractor’s IDIQ terms and conditions.

6.2. On Ramp: Consistent with FAR 16.504(c) (1) (ii) (A), the Contracting Officer (CO) has determined that it is in the Government’s best interest that at all times during the term of the basic contract, there remain an adequate number of IDIQ holders eligible to compete for Orders. Over time, the total number of IDIQ holders may fluctuate due to various reasons including industry consolidation, significant changes in the marketplace or advances in technology, general economic conditions, the Government's exercise of the off-ramp process, or other reasons. Recognizing this, Malmstrom AFB intends to periodically review the total number of IDIQ holders participating and determine whether it would be in the Government’s best interest to initiate an open season to add new contractors to the MAC.

6.3. Open Season Procedures: If Malmstrom AFB determines it would be in the Government’s best interest to open a new solicitation to add new contractors to the IDIQ, the CO may do so at any time provided that:

a. The solicitation identifies the total approximate number of new awards that the CO intends to make. The solicitation will mirror the original RFQ/solicitation with the only exception(s) being incorporation of any amendments issued to the original solicitation and any changes to clauses from the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses or any supplements to the FAR. The potential offerors shall be required to meet the same minimum evaluation criteria established in the original IDIQ RFQ/solicitation for each evaluation factor where minimum criteria was established. The evaluation and selection of awardees will be on the same basis as the evaluation and award criteria used for the original IDIQ award. Existing IDIQ holders may not hold more than one contract under the MAC at any time;

b. The On Ramp solicitation will identify the total anticipated number of new contracts intended to be awarded in response to the On Ramp solicitation notice.

c. The determination to announce a new On Ramp competition may be made on an annual or biannual basis, at the discretion of the contracting officer. The contract-ordering period for any IDIQ holder selected in accordance with the solicitation’s On Ramp procedures will run concurrent with the existing IDIQ ordering period. The terms and conditions of any resulting awards will be materially identical to the terms and conditions of the existing IDIQ holders.

d. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to not exercise remaining IDIQ option periods for IDIQ awardees if it is determined the contractor has not consistently participated in the FOPR process or if performance under orders issued under the IDIQ have not been satisfactory. If a contractor does not consistently participate in FOPRs for reasons other than bonding and/or maximum ordering limitations (MOL), then (a) the contractor acknowledges that abstaining from participation may be reflected on any contract performance evaluation, and (b) the base IDIQ Contracting Officer may determine that it is in the best interest of the Government to terminate the contract or not exercise any remaining IDIQ option periods.

e. Immediately upon on-ramping award, each selected contractor is eligible to submit a proposal in response to any task order RFQ/solicitation and will be eligible to receive task order awards with the same rights and obligations as any other contractor in the MAC pool.

f. The award of any new IDIQ does not increase the overall ceiling of the IDIQs.
