I. ISSUING FUTURE TASK ORDERS

FAIR OPPORTUNITY HOW FUTURE TASK ORDERS WILL BE SOLICITED AND AWARDED

The total estimated MATOC capacity (ceiling) is $49,000,00.00 ($50M). The minimum guarantee for each contract awardee will be $2,000.00 in the base contract ordering period only, per IDIQ contract. In the event that no task orders are awarded under a contract, the minimum guarantee will be paid at the end of the contract base ordering period. The $49,000,000 Million is for the entire MATOC, all IDIQ contract awards, the capacity is intended for the entire ordering period of performance of sixty (60) months or five (5) years from date of award.;

however, the US Government reserves the right to use the entire $49,000,000 million dollar capacity earlier than the five (5) year ordering period of performance, if needed. In no case shall the Contracting officer issue/award more than $25,000,000.00 million in a single one (1) year of performance.

Anticipate Task Orders under the MATOC to be in the range of $25,000.00 to $1,000,000.00. Task orders will be competed amongst the IDIQ contract awardees using FAR Subpart 16.5. The scope of work will be defined in each individual Task Order Request (TOR). The selection criteria, to include the source selection approach of lowest price technically acceptable process, will be provided in the individual Task Order (TOR). Although each Task O rder is unique, the typical evaluation criteria utilized at the Task Order level is expected to contain a technical approach and a price/price related factor. Task Orders will be awarded on a firm-fixed price (FFP) basis to an IDIQ contract awardee and all will be provided a fair opportunity to compete for each Task O rder requirement, unless:

a. The US Government’s need is so urgent that providing a fair opportunity to all MATOC awardees would result in unacceptable delays;

b. Only one of the MATOC awardees is capable of providing the work at the level of quality desired because the requirement is unique or highly specialized;

c. The Task Order must be issued on a sole source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency as a logical follow-on issued under the contract, provided that all MATOC awardees were given a fair opportunity to be considered for the original order; or

d. It is necessary to place an order to satisfy a minimum guarantee.

In those instances that meet one or more of the non-competitive exceptions above, the Contracting Officer will issue a written TOR with the Task Order Scope of Work requesting a complete and detailed price proposal, along with any necessary technical information from the given contractor. Upon Task Order Proposal (TOP) receipt, the US Government will review the contractor’s proposal submission, conduct negotiations if necessary, and issue the task order.

The contracting officer may make deviations to this ordering process as circumstances dictate.

Under FAR 16.505(a)(10), a protest is not authorized in connection with the issuance or proposed issuance of a Task Order on the grounds that the order increased the scope, period, or maximum value of the contract under which the order is issued. The Ombudsman for Task Orders is the Deputy PARC, Mr. Adam Goldstein adam.r.goldstein.civ@mail.mil.

J. LOCAL REQUIREMENTS - SUBCONTRACTS

Prior to awarding any subcontract after award of the MATOC, the contractor shall notify the contracting officer in writing of the contractor’s intent to subcontract and obtain the contracting officer’s approval to award said subcontract(s).
