The contract will be for time and materials charged to perform each task as ordered. Offers will be evaluated against FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Items and the Government wi ll award a contract(s) resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will represent the best value and most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

In the event that a contractor cannot accept work, due either to time and/or resource constraints, or a professional conflict of interest, O SJA will re-assign the work to another contractor that was the next best value offer. Work will only be assigned as deemed appropriate by OSJA. The decision to assign work to a particular Contractor will be based on the Task Order Official's judgment of t he offer that represents the best value and best interest of the Government considering the Contractor's expertise, experience, strengths, and price and also the Government's programmatic goals.
