5. You mentioned that you would only use the First Task Order to review the bid numbers. What concerns me with that approach is someone could low ball the prices on the First Task Order and then jack up the prices on temporary latrines on the pricing pages to make up difference plus some. If you don't consider the pricing on temporary latrines, it seems to open up the possibility for some impropriety in the bid process. Should the temporary units be added to the First Task order?
