The Government will evaluate and select, for contract award, two (2) or more qualified Offeror(s), whose Proposal(s) are determined to be the most beneficial to the Government, with consideration given to both the technical evaluation factors and price.

The majority of the work will be Foreign Military Sales (FMF) funded and all Off Shore Procurement (OSP) and Balance of Payment (BOP) Act Restrictions apply. Reference shall be made in the solicitation and each subsequent task order awarded under the contract implementing the U.S. Government International Balance of Payments Program (IBOP) and U.S. Government policies concerning OSP, including Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 25 and Department of Defense FAR Supplement (DFARS), Part 225.

The Contracts will be awarded only to U.S. Firms and paid only in U.S. ($) dollars pursuant to 22 U.S.C. 2791(c).

A waiver of OSP requirements will not be available and accordingly, at least 51% of the dollar value of each task order (exclusive of the cost of bulk materials, and other items that the FAR and DFARS exclude from Buy American considerations) must be of U.S. origin. In addition, notwithstanding the status of Israel as a designated or qualifying country under IBOP and WTO, Israeli content will be limited to bulk materials (such as sand, gravel, or other soil material, plant materials, stone, cement or cement products, concrete masonry units or fired brick and other materials exempted under the DFARS or listed in the OSP worksheet, materials described in the quote mark Direction on Israeli Content - Other Bulk Items quote mark and other items specifically authorized for purchase in Israel either in the contract specifications or by express written authorization of the Contracting Officer).

Estimated cost range of this MATOC is approximately US$249,500,000.00 for the life of the contract, which will consist of one (1) base year period and four (4) one year option periods. The Contract will end upon completion of the final option year or upon attainment of the US$249,500,000.00 capacity. Individual projects issued under the MATOCs will contain their own estimated values. There will be no limits on the number of task orders awarded/issued in any year; however, the minimum amount per task order issued against this contract is anticipated to be $50,000.00 and the maximum is anticipated not to exceed $15,000,000.00. The minimum guarantee shall be $15,000.00. This amount shall cover the duration of the entire contract.
