A. Ordering Guidelines: Pursuant to FAR 16.504(4)(iv) the following are the procedures that the Government will use in issuing orders, including the ordering media and the procedures and selection criteria that the Government will use to provide awardees a fair opportunity to be considered for each order:

1. The contracting officer and/or contract specialist will issue a RFQ via e-mail to all contract holders, unless a fair opportunity exception applies (see FAR 16.505).

2. The RFQ will include a due date for the quote submission as well as the details for the specific requirement.

3. Contract holders will typically be provided 1-3 days to prepare and submit quotes. Contract holders will be required to quote on every task order issued under this contract vehicle and to be able to fully provide all requirements.

4. Regarding quotation requirements, a written price quote shall always be required in response to the quote request. Contractors are permitted to quote rates lower than those originally proposed and awarded in their contracts although contractors can not exceed the rates in their contract. Reduced rates will only apply to the respective task order and will not change the fixed rates established in the contract.

5. Regarding the evaluation of task order quotes, typically, the award will be made to the lowest priced quotation, although the Government reserves the right to utilize evaluation factors and a best value decision process. If necessary, during the evaluation of quotes, the Government may contact a contractor with questions concerning its quote. Upon completion of evaluations, the contracting office will issue a task order to the contractor whose quote is deemed most advantageous to the Government based on the evaluation factors. An e-mail will be sent to all unsuccessful quoters with the awardee's overall price for each task order issued.

B. Shared ceiling value: With regard to questions concerning the shared ceiling value among the resultant multiple award contract holders, it is noted that once awarded, there is no guarantee, other than the minimum guarantee, that a contractor will be successful in being awarded any additional task orders. The contract limits are established at a cumulative level. That is, all of the up to three contracts awarded as a result of this solicitation will expire after two years, or when the cumulative total of all task orders competed against the resultant ID/IQ contracts reaches the lowest price out of the three ID/IQ contract awardees; whichever comes first. It is theoretically possible, although extremely remote, that one firm could be awarded every task order competed under this contract vehicle.

C. Personnel may be required to possess a DHS Suitability clearance, which will be dictated by the Scope at the task order level.

D. With regard to questions concerning the wage determination the Government will not interpret provisions of these documents for potential offerors. Please refer to the applicable Federal Acquisition Regulations and Code of Federal Regulations as they relate to the Service Contract Act. Service Contract Act price adjustments pursuant to FAR 52.222-43 will be conducted on the anniversary date of the contract (i.e.

February 1, 2013 and February 1, 2014).

E. All other terms and conditions of the Solicitation apply.
