Task Order awards will be placed in accordance with the FAR procedures found in 16.504.

Task Order ORDERING PROCEDURES:

(a) The total program value for this acquisition is estimated at $610,000,000. The total dollar value of all orders placed on all contracts awarded will not exceed the total program value. The dollar amount of orders placed on any one contract cannot be determined in advance.

(b) In accordance with FAR 16.505, all multiple awardees shall be provided a fair opportunity to be considered for each order in excess of the micro-purchase threshold, unless the contracting officer determines that one of the exceptions in FAR 16.505(b)(2) applies.

(c) Fair opportunity and contractor selection will be based on an assessment of the consideration factors or other factors, as determined by the KO, and as tailored to the acquisition. The Request for Task Order Proposal (RTOP) will describe the evaluation process at the task order level.

Evaluation factors which may be considered under this contract include, but are not limited to,:

1. Specific technical and/or management capabilities;

2. Past performance

3. Price/Cost

(d) Unrestricted Lot. The Government intends to award up to six contracts in the Unrestricted Lot. Specifically, Offerors submitting proposals for the Unrestricted Lot must be found technically acceptable in all five tasking areas (inclusive of sub tasking areas) to be eligible for award of a MAIDIQ. Task orders for all task and subtask areas in the Unrestricted Lot shall be competed amongst companies holding an Unrestricted MAIDIQ.

(e) Small Business Lot. The Government intends to award up to four contracts in the Small Business Lot to small business concerns (SBCs) in any socio-economic category IAW FAR 19.502-4(a). Offerors submitting proposals under the Small Business Lot must be found technically acceptable in one or both both of the Small Business sub tasking areas – SRP and LVC-IA to be eligible for award of a MAIDIQ and will only be awarded if two or more MAIDIQs have been awarded and the “Rule of Two” has been met. If two or more Reserved contracts are awarded in any one socio-economic category, the Government may, at its direction, compete any task orders for Reserved work solely amongst the specified types of SBCs if an alternative set-aside requirement provided in the small business program has been met. Finally, task orders for Reserved efforts may be awarded on a sole source basis if only one Reserved MAIDIQ is awarded. If subsequent market research confirms that the “Rule of Two” cannot be satisfied. SBCs are permitted to compete for non-reserved task orders if they have competed for and been awarded a MAIDIQ for the Non-Reserved TSS-E Mission Support Services.

(f) Exceptions to Fair Opportunity: The Government will provide fair opportunity to all contract holders as noted above, unless an exception to fair opportunity applies. When an exception to fair opportunity exists, the Contracting Officer, upon receipt of the task order requirement, will make a determination at that time to include documentation / justification of the exception to fair opportunity. IAW FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(F), Exceptions to the Fair Opportunity Process, the Contracting Officer will conduct market research to determine if at least two (2) small businesses can perform the work required. For a small business to be eligible, at least 50 percent of the cost of contract performance incurred for personnel would have to be expended for employees of the small business concern. If the Contracting Officer determines that there are at least two (2) small business concerns are capable of performing the task, the Contracting Officer will solicit responses only from small business concerns.

H.2 Labor Category Pricing Matrix. The Pricing Matrix (Attachment 7 – Cost Pricing Workbook) sets forth the labor categories that shall be used and the maximum rates that may be paid/reimbursed under this contract. These rates are inclusive of prime labor, subcontract labor, overhead and other burden, and profit. In isolated cases, additional labor categories may be added at the task order level with the express written consent of the Contracting Officer, if, in the judgment of the Contracting Officer, they are necessary because the existing labor categories do not adequately reflect a skill set that is required. Requests to add additional labor categories shall be commensurate with the pricing methodology employed to establish the rates awarded with the basic contract.

(c) Fair opportunity and contractor selection will be based on an assessment of the consideration factors or other factors, as determined by the KO, and as tailored to the acquisition. The Request for Task Order Proposal (RTOP) will describe the evaluation process at the task order level.

Evaluation factors which may be considered under this contract include, but are not limited to,:

1. Specific technical and/or management capabilities;

Finally, task orders for Reserved efforts may be awarded on a sole source basis if only one Reserved MAIDIQ is awarded.

IAW FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(F), Exceptions to the Fair Opportunity Process, the Contracting Officer will conduct market research to determine if at least two (2) small businesses can perform the work required. For a small business to be eligible, at least 50 percent of the cost of contract performance incurred for personnel would have to be expended for employees of the small business concern. If the Contracting Officer determines that there are at least two (2) small business concerns are capable of performing the task, the Contracting Officer will solicit responses only from small business concerns.
