As a result of this solicitation, the Government intends that a minimum of fifteen (15) indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity, (IDIQ) Task Order Contracts will be awarded, providing sufficient qualified contractors present offers. All awards will be to small business pursuant to a 100% small business set-aside. The contracting officer may set-aside task orders for SBA Certified 8(a) participants; Certified HUBZone Small Business Concerns, Small Business Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business and Women Owned Small Businesses Concerns providing 2 or more qualified contractors in each category present conforming offers and are awarded a MATOC. The Government also reserves the right to set-aside task orders for other authorized socio-economic programs approved for use during the existence of this MATOC and implemented by the FAR or DFARS.

1.1.1. Awards will be made to offerors whose proposals, responsive and conforming to the RFP, are determined to be most advantageous to the Government in terms of Technical, Price and other factors considered. Socioeconomic status of the offeror will also be considered.

1.1.2. Work to be performed under the MATOC contracts will include, but are not limited to, construction, demolition/remediation services, and limited design services for projects designated for real property facilities normally on Indiana National Guard sites. Projects will principally be bid build type from already completed designs, and/or projects specified by a Statement of Work using the Master Specification. It should be noted that the majority of work under these contracts for Terre Haute and Fort Wayne will be for sustainment, repair and maintenance (SRM) under $500,000 level. It should also be noted that the majority of work under these contracts for Camp Atterbury, Muscatatuck, and Jefferson Proving Ground will be for new construction under $1M. However, offerings may on rare occasion include some design/build projects some of which may be non-complex or complex performance based offerings. Complex design-build projects will normally be solicited using a two phase approach as described in Section 00800.

1.1.3. The Government reserves the right to issue additional solicitations and award additional contracts within the activities covered by this contract. In this event, new MATOC contractors, in accordance with the terms of their contracts, may compete for Task Orders with the Contractors selected under this solicitation.

The maximum value of each contract will not exceed $30 million over the life of the contract. The Minimum and Maximum values for a single Task Order are $200.00 and $5 million, respectively. The minimum guaranteed order for each contract is one (1) task order valued at $200 with a guaranteed fee of $200.00 for the life of the contract.
