Ordering Procedures for Fair Opportunity

a. All NDMS IDIQ awardees will be provided a fair opportunity to be considered for each task order in accordance with the requirements of FAR 16.505(b)(1). The Contracting Officer will provide each contractor a Request for Task Order Proposal (RTOP) when a new order is required.

b. The RTOP:

1. Issued by email. The Contractor is responsible for checking their email for task order issuances as no other notice will be provided.

2. Will be issued at any time during the ordering period of the NDMS IDIQ contract.

3. Include the period of performance, the work specification, evaluation criteria, instructions for submission, and any other information deemed appropriate for the respective order.

4. Will typically be competed based on the lowest price but may be include past performance on this IDIQ depending on the requirement.

c. NDMS IDIQ contractors are required to submit a proposal on every RTOP in accordance with the limitations in FAR 52.216-19 Order Limitations. Contractors will have the option to keep prices as they were originally submitted for NDMS IDIQ or submit prices lower than their original proposal.

d. Each RTOP will have CLINs that splits the volume on a percentage basis. More than one Task Order will be issued from each RFQ. The actual percentage split will be determined at the Task Order level, but no CLIN will be lower than 30% of RTOP volume. All vendors will be given a Fair Opportunity to bid on each RTOP. The proposal that is determined to be the best value will receive the larger percentage CLIN. The other offer will receive the lower percentage CLIN.
