Section 1.11.1.2, General Instructions states "Under this solicitation, no company or business entity may be awarded more than one contract as a prime Contractor." Does that mean all reserved pools combined within the MATOC or within each reserve pool: UR, SB & 8(a)? If a large business is pursuing the UR pool and has a SBA 8(a) Mentor-Protégé JV with another company can 2 awards occur, one to the large business in UR pool and one to the 8(a) reserve JV pool since it's likely they will not be competing against each other?A prime contractor that is also acting as a mentor in an 8(a) mentor protégé joint venture may submit a proposal seeking a MATOC contract award as well as the joint venture with that prime contractor as an SBA recognized mentor. However, because of the mentor's role to advise and assist the joint venture, the joint venture and the mentor prime contractor if both are awarded a MATOC contract should not propose on the same task order solicitation in the future. This restriction is necessary due to the risk of anti-competitive pricing issues and collusive bidding as addressed in FAR Subparts 3.1 and 3.3.

Comment Classification: Unclassified\\For Official Use Only (U\\FOUO)It is the Company's decision for its business strategy on which regions or countries that it desires to seek contract awards. A desired regional or country preference would not be considered a Government restriction on its ability to seek a base MATOC contract award. If awarded a base MATOC contract award, a company could decide at its own discretion whether to propose on any solicited order and could decide to limit its participation to propose on orders only for specific regions or countries. However, solicited orders in the future are not guaranteed for certain areas or countries and a MATOC awardee may experience very few or no orders solicited in their desired area or country.
