The MACs shall have a base ordering period from date of contract award through sixty (60) months after date of award. The Government may exercise an optional ordering period which will be in effect from (60) months after date of award through 108 months after date of award.

2. The procurement for the planned MACs will be executed under full and open competition provisions through the use of competitive proposals as required by 10 U.S.C. 2304. Offerors may propose to one or more of the functional areas identified in the Statement of Work. Awarded MACs will cite the functional areas for which they are eligible and Offerors who do not propose in a functional area will not be able to propose for any task or delivery orders in that functional area.

3. After planned MAC award, all subsequent task and delivery orders will be competed among qualified contractors for the functional area (or areas) applicable to each requirement in accordance with FAR 16.505, unless one of the exceptions to fair opportunity at FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i) applies. NUWCDIVNPT will utilize the functions of SeaPort-o for the task and delivery order competitions.

4. ONLY US COMPANIES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR AWARD. United States companies are the only eligible companies for award on this IDIQ MAC.
