Orders by other individuals will not be honored without prior written approval from the USAMRAA Contracting Officer. The following offices are hereby authorized to place orders under this

IDIQ:

• U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA)

• US Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM)

B.3.1 Individual(s) Authorized to Purchase utilizing a Government Purchase Card (GPC) up to $25,000.00:

TBD at Time of Award

USARIEM

B.4. The Contracting Officer will order against the contract through issuance of Delivery Orders via a DD Form 1155 or SF1449 signed by the Contracting Officer. Delivery Orders will be executed in writing by the Contracting Officer and transmitted either via facsimile or electronically via e-mail. The contractor shall acknowledge receipt via e-mail.

B.5. Each Delivery Order will contain at a minimum the following information:

b. Contract number and order number

c. Description of the requirement

d. Pricing Information

e. The period of performance/ delivery date

f. Accounting and appropriations data

g. Payment office address

h. Invoicing and acceptance instructions

i. Any other pertinent data

B.6. The ordering period begins with the initial start of contract and is estimated to be 60 months. The ordering period will end before 60 months if maximum dollar value of $850,000.00 is reached.

B.7. Contract Minimum/Maximum values The minimum contract value for all orders issued against this contract shall not be less than $1,000.00. The maximum contract value for all orders issued against this contract shall not exceed the maximum contract value of $850,000.00.
