About this file
This document details the Rolling Admissions (On Ramp/Off Ramp) Procedures for an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple Award Contract (MAC). The On-Ramp process allows the Government to reopen competition and add new contractors to a competition Pool at any time during the contract term, primarily to enhance competitive environment for Task Orders (TOs). On-Ramp solicitations will be advertised on SAM.gov, with new awardees evaluated using the same criteria as the initial contract award and required to meet all original Pool criteria.
The Off-Ramp procedure enables the Government to remove non-performing contractors from a competition Pool through methods such as allowing contract terms to expire, debarment, suspension, or termination. Non-performance can be triggered by failing to meet minimum task order competition requirements, not achieving small business subcontract goals, or receiving unsatisfactory Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) ratings. Contractors who are Off-Ramped will be ineligible to compete for new Task Orders in their specific Pool but must continue performing existing active task orders until their performance period ends.

Rolling Admissions (On Ramp/ off Ramp) Procedures
On Ramps
The Government reserves the unilateral right to reopen competition or "On-Ramp" additional Contractors in any competition Pool at any time during the term of the contract.
The Government may choose to On-Ramp any number of new awardees when the Contracting Officer determines it is in the Government's best interest to do so in order to enhance the competitive environment of TO solicitations under the originally awarded IDIQ contracts. This may be due to any reason, including the lack of robust competition for TOs or a shrinking of the competitive Pool of original effective IDIQ awardees under this solicitation.
When an On-Ramp is used, the Government will advertise the reopening of the competition on www.SAM.gov, and awardees shall meet the criteria established in the initial IDIQ MAC solicitation for the respective Pool; this includes all evaluation criteria for that Pool. The evaluation and selection of awardees for any On-Ramp will be based upon substantially the same evaluation and award criteria used for the IDIQ MAC initial basic contract awards for the respective Pool. The anticipated number of awards for any Pools of competition will be announced in the reopening announcement posted to SAM.gov. Any new awardees will compete with any existing or remaining Contractors for all task orders in the appropriate competition Pool.
The reopened solicitation may contain additional or updated clauses that were revised since the initial solicitation. In the event an "On-Ramp" is used, Contractors with existing contracts within the applicable competition Pool will be notified of any clause additions or updates which will be incorporated via a bilateral modification.
Any additions due to On-Ramps will be co-terminus with the existing term and not impact the contract maximum ordering ceiling and the ordering period for new awardees and will not exceed the overall maximum term of the original ID/IQ contract, including options (i.e., will not extend past the dates established at initial award).
The Government will not consider unsolicited requests for addition to any competition Pools.
Off Ramps
The Government reserves the unilateral right to Off-Ramp non-performing Contractors.
Contractors that are Off-Ramped will not be eligible to compete for new TOs in the Pool in which they are Off-Ramped, but will be required to continue performing active task orders until the period of performance of such orders ends. The Off-Ramp process under an IDIQ http://www.sam.gov/ contract encompasses several methods by which the Government may exercise its right to remove a Contractor from a Pool of contract awardees. Examples of non-performance, includes, but is not limited to:
(1) A Contractor does not meet minimum requirements for participating in task order competitions as described in PWS paragraph A
(2) Contractor does not meet the small business subcontract goals established in PWS paragraph 4.5 and their Small Business Participation Plan, or
(3) Unsatisfactory CPARS rating(s).
The Off-Ramp methods include, but are not limited to:
(1) Contracting Officer determines that exercising an Option is not in the Government's best interest, therefore the Government would allow the Contractor's contract term to expire.
(2) Debarment, suspension, or ineligibility as defined in FAR Subpart 9.405-1, 9.405-2
(3) Termination as defined in FAR Part 49.402, 49.403
