This will be a firm-fixed price (FFP), indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ), Job Order Contract (JOC) awarded on the basis of full and open competition. This contract type includes a comprehensive collection of detailed repair, maintenance, and minor construction task descriptions or specifications; units of measure; and pre-established unit prices for each discrete task. Each task order under a JOC comprises of pre-described and pre-priced tasks listed in the Kuwait JOC Unit Price Book (UPB). Provided by the Government, a Unit Price Book is a compilation of repair, maintenance, and minor construction tasks; associated units of measure; and unit prices. JOC unit prices include direct material, labor and equipment costs, but not indirect costs or profits which are addressed in the contractor's coefficient(s). Coefficients are adjustment factors proposed by the contractor to adjust the unit prices stated in the UPB and consists of the contractor's operating costs. Coefficients are multiplied to unit prices in the UPB to determine the price of a task order. SET ASIDES and CODES: As the work will be performed outside of the continental United States, no set asides or socioeconomic preference of any sort will be granted.
