FAR Subpart 36.6 and Engineering Pamphlet (EP) 715-1-7.

The program capacity shared by all awarded contracts will be approximately $200M. Over the last five years, this work has resulted in task orders ranging from $91 thousand to $17.2 million. It is planned that future task orders will have a multimillion-dollar capacity.
