Contractors participating in all TO RFP's, but which have not been awarded a TO in the first calendar year will be eligible to receive the funding for the minimum guarantee beginning in calendar year two (2). The "Order of Magnitude" for task orders is anticipated to range from $25,000 to the GSA current capital reinvestment threshold ("prospectus"), presently $2.79million. Task Orders may not exceed $5 million per single task order contract. The average Task Order is expected to have an Order of Magnitude of $75,000 - $250,000 with an estimated volume of twenty (20) Task Orders per MATOC IDIQ.
