Standard Requirements. This contract will be focused on competition; accordingly, IDIQ prime contractors are required to submit a quote for every requirement solicited. If the contractor has reason to request a waiver, the contractor shall submit a detailed statement of reason for a waiver to the Contracting Officer (KO) within 2 days of request for task order quote.

(a) All multiple award contractors shall be considered for each order over $3,000, unless the Contracting Officer determines that:

(1) The agency need for such supplies or services is of such urgency that providing such opportunity would result in unacceptable delays;

(2) Only one such contractor is capable of providing such supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services ordered are unique or highly specialized;

(3) The order should be issued on a sole source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency as a logical follow-on to an order already issued under the contract.

(4) It is necessary to place an order to satisfy a minimum amount guarantee.

(b) Unless the exceptions in paragraphs (a) above apply, the following procedures will be utilized in providing contract awardees with a fair opportunity to be considered for each order:

(1) Soliciting Task Order Quotes. When the Government has a requirement for services to be performed under this contract, the KO will issue a request for task order quote which will include a Statement of Work describing the number of personnel scheduled for the training, the applicable CLIN quantities required, and a Period of Performance.

(2) Submission of Quotes. The contractor’s quote shall comply with the request for quote (RFQ). The contractor shall have 5 days to submit their quote, unless another timeframe is included in the RFQ. Quotes will contain the requested pricing, utilizing the rates established in the basic contract or lower. At no time shall the quote contain pricing that is higher than what is established in the basic contract.

(3) Government Evaluation of Task Order Quotes. The Government will make award to the contractor whose quote provides the lowest total evaluated price to the Government.
