Attachment J-11

ON 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 solicitation process will be the same as during the original solicitation, but changes may occur if law, regulation, or policy have changed and require alteration to the process. 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 the competitive pool. 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.
