Task orders anticipated for these proposed MATOCs are generally expected to range from approximately $20 Million to $100 Million. The MATOC contract will be solicited and procured using Best Value Trade-Off methodology based on the Two-Phase Design Build Procedures in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 36.3. The Government intends to use the Phase I process to select a maximum of twenty (20) eligible offerors to compete in Phase II. The Government contemplates awarding a target of ten ID/IQ multiple award task order contracts. However, the Government reserves the right to select more, less, or none at all.

The selections for award of these initial task orders will be made utilizing a best value approach, based upon the price proposals and Phase II submissions received from offerors.

Award will be made to Offeror(s) whose technical submittal and price proposal contain the combination of the criteria requested that offers the best value to the Government.
