In order to obtain services under the ID/IQ the Contracting Officer will send a Statement of Work (SOW) with a request for both a technical and/or price response. The Contractor shall send the response directly to the Contracting Officer, who will forward the information to the program office for evaluation.

The task orders issued against this contract will be priced on a firm-fixed price basis with a FFP EPA line item where applicable. The preparation instructions for the technical portion of the solicitation may require the Contractor to address any technical aspect related to the task order that is necessary for evaluation by the Government.

The Contractor is not authorized to commence performance prior to issuance of the Order by the Contracting Officer.
