All services shall be firm-fixed price and subject to the Service Contract Act (41 U.S.C. 351). The solicitation and subsequent contract will include contract line items (CLINS) with 5-year ordering periods. The anticipated IDIQ contract will obligate the government to the minimum guarantee of $1,500.00 for post-award conference.

Further obligations will arise as task orders are awarded and obligations will be charged to the fiscal year in which the order is placed. Healthcare housekeeping services are required for 60 months starting 1 March 2015 through 29 February 2020. All elements of the RFP shall be submitted by the Offeror with a proposal no later than the date/time shown in block 8 of the Standard Form (SF) 1449, Solicitation/Contract Order for Commercial Items.
