MACC Task Order and Change Order Pricing:

Confusion on the current MACC persists over how markups are to be applied on new task order awards and how they are to be applied to subsequent change orders to those task orders.

Section B clarifies the relationship while providing more instructions for how to apply Prime Contractor markups to change orders while remaining consistent with contract clause AOC52.243-1 (Changes Supplement)

Note – Offerors will not submit pricing until Step Two of the evaluation

On/Off Ramp Procedures:

Section H includes procedures that allow the AOC to off-ramp MACC holders and on-ramp new contractors.

These procedures are intended to provide the AOC a full complement of MACC holders actively participating in Task Order Requests for Proposals throughout the life of the contract.

Evaluation Criteria (Section L and M):

Please review carefully, follow instructions, and provide the information and formatting exactly as prescribed in Section L/M
