MACC PROVISIONS

TASK ORDER PROCEDURES

1. As the need exists for performance under the terms of this contract, the Contracting Officer or his/her representative will notify the contractor of an existing requirement, and Firm Fixed Price Task Orders will be awarded hereunder within the scope of the terms and conditions and specifications of this contract IAW FAR 16.505. The contractor shall submit a proposal IAW the Task Order SOW, specifications, or drawings specified by the Contracting Officer in the individual Fair Opportunity Proposal Request (FOPR).

2. Upon receipt of the contractors' proposals, the Government will evaluate the proposals for completeness and reasonableness utilizing the evaluation procedures outlined in the Task Order FOPR. Task Order award will be made to the contractor providing the lowest price or best value basis as described in the Task Order FOPR after price is determined to be fair and reasonable by the Contracting Officer.

a. The Government reserves the right to conduct Interchanges through Interchange Notices (IN) with one, some, none, or all Offerors at its discretion.

b. Offerors may not be offered an opportunity to revise their proposal as a result of Interchanges.

3. Restriction from Competition. Contractors MAY also be restricted from competition on individual Task Orders if, at the time of Task Order FOPR issuance, any of the following conditions apply:

a. The Contractor has five active Task Orders.

b. The Contractor is more than 5% behind schedule on any active Task Orders (barring those that are behind due to Government delays).

c. If the Contractor has received an unfavorable CPARS rating on any Task Orders within the previous calendar year.

4. Should these conditions be alleviated and/or change, the Contracting Officer may determine the contractor to be eligible for competition on subsequent Task Orders.

ON/OFF RAMP PROCEDURES

1. On-Ramp. The Government reserves the right to reopen competition at any time during the term of the contract. The Contracting Officer intends to periodically review the need for additional contractors during the contract Period of Performance (PoP). When an on-ramp is used, the Government will advertise the reopening of the competition on FedBizOpps, and awardees shall meet the criteria established in the initial MACC solicitation. The evaluation and selection of awardees for any on-ramp will be exactly the same as the evaluation and award criteria used for the initial basic contract awards. Any new awardees will compete with any existing or remaining MACC Contractors for all Task Orders (excluding the need to meet the minimum obligation amount). Any additions due to on-ramps will not increase the contract ceiling and the ordering period for new awardees will not exceed the overall maximum term of the original contract. The Government will not consider unsolicited requests for addition to either or both of the competition pools. The anticipated number of awards will be announced in the reopening announcement posted to FedBizOpps; however, the Contracting Officer has the discretion to award more or fewer contracts than the number anticipated in the solicitation depending upon the quality of the offers received.

2. Off-Ramp. The Government reserves the right to utilize off-ramps when it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government; including, but not limited to, a contractor's lack of participation in competition or Task Orders, poor performance, change of ownership, etc. The Government may off-ramp a contractor by implementing either a termination for convenience, a termination for default, or not exercising an option year depending on the circumstances. Failure to participate in good faith and/or unsatisfactory CPARS ratings on individual Task Orders may result in the contractor being off-ramped from the multiple award program.
