C.1.2.1 Type of Solicitation: This RFP will result in between three and five Multiple Award Contract (MAC) awards to the responsible offerors whose proposals conform to the RFP, and are most advantageous to the Government resulting in the Best Value, in accordance with price and technical factors and their relative importance in the solicitation, as outlined in Section M of this plan. The best value offeror will receive one of the MAC awards, as well as the initial/seed project. The remaining best value offerors selected will receive a Multiple Award Contract that will include a minimum guarantee of $5,000. The contracts will be for a 12 month base year and four potential option years. The preponderance of the work issued under these contracts will be between $50,000 and $250,000.

The follow-on task orders may be awarded based on low price technically acceptable, or best value trade off procedures. Task orders issued under this contract will be firm fixed price. This is not an emergency response contract. However, in the event of an urgent requirement, the government reserves the right to issue a sole source task order to conduct projects on an expedited basis. In such circumstances, award will be made to the contractor that the government, at its sole discretion, deems most capable of responding to the requirement.
