IDIQ – The government intends to award multiple IDIQ to 3 vendors that provide the best value to the government.

Additionally, the government reserves the right to award a Single Award IDIQ to 1 vendor if during evaluation, it is determined that it is in the best interest of the government.

Contract Value – The total Program Value for this IDIQ is estimated around $ 4,987,117.96 including the -8 option IAW FAR 52.217-8, and $4,453,128.56 not including the -8 option. Therefore, all awardees estimated total contract value will total $4,453,128.56. For example, if there are 3 awardees, each awardee will receive an IDIQ with a total estimated value of $1,484,376.18. However, each base contract will have a total contract capacity of the total Program Value with the -8, which will be rounded down to $4.9M per contract designated in 52.216-19.
