Rationale for using other than a fixed price and/or competitive award:

The work discussed herein is the same work that is currently required in the original task order statement of work as awarded. Therefore, additional competition was not required.

The original task order is a CPIF contract. Modifying this task order to utilize Recovery Act funds does not reduce the risk assessment of the work, so maintaining a CPIF type is appropriate. The contractor will be encouraged wherever possible to award subcontracts.
