If performance on individual task orders will be required at a Government installation, a site Point of Contact (POC) will be provided by the Government on the task order.

C.10. TASK ORDER REQUIREMENTS:

C.10.1. Issuance of Task Orders. To order services under this contract, a Request for Quotation (RFQ), Standard Form (SF) 18, will be forwarded to the Contractor identifying the specific requirements of the individual order. The Contractor shall prepare and submit an itemized budget for the work requested based on the rates negotiated in Section B of this contract and any direct materials, travel or other direct costs (ODC) applicable to the particular services requested. The Contractor may propose lower rates, but in no event can the rates in Section B be exceeded.

Following successful negotiation of each individual requirement, the Contracting Officer may issue a written task order for supplies and/or services on a Department of Defense (DD) Form 1155. Task orders will be issued on a firm fixed-price basis. In the event that the negotiation for price and time cannot be concluded to the mutual agreement of both parties, the Government may decline to issue a Task Order and the Contractor will not be entitled to any costs resulting from non-issuance of the Task Order under this paragraph. Further, the Government is not obligated to issue RFQs or Task Orders under this contract. The Government may perform the anticipated services "in-house" or acquire the services from other contracts.

In addition, each RFQ will have an additional reporting line item identified as "Accounting for Contractor Services" (reference C.6 above) when applicable. It is the Contractor's option to expressly price or to “not separately price” (NSP) the reporting line item. If the price is included in the Task Order price, the "Accounting for Contractor Services" reporting CLIN should be annotated with NSP (Not Separately Priced). If pricing separately, include the price in the reporting line item. In either event, a separate budget shall be required. If the Contractor chooses not to charge for this reporting, mark the reporting line item NC (No Charge).

C.10.2. Task Orders may be issued at any time during the contract period. Multiple Task Orders may be in effect at any given time. Conversely, there may be periods when no Task Orders are active. No compensation will be provided to the Contractor during such periods of non-work.

The Contractor shall perform the necessary work on each assignment continuously as working conditions permit. If it becomes necessary for the Government to stop work on any assignment, FAR clause 52.242-15 found in Section F, Stop Work Order, shall govern.

C.10.4. To perform the required work, the Contractor shall provide all professional staff, support staff, and specialists necessary to plan, supervise, perform and report the required work. The Contractor shall also provide adequate professional supervision to assure the accuracy, quality, and completeness of all work required under this contract.
