The contract is intended for the design engineering and project management and monitoring of construction on small projects throughout Europe, Africa, Middle East, and the Far East.

After this period, the Government may, at its discretion, consider not awarding the contract to the un-cleared selected offeror. At least one contract will be awarded to a firm already possessing an Interim or Final Secret FCL, provided that the firm meets the technical qualification noted in the scope-of-work.
