The Government anticipates multiple awards of cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts with a period of performance of one year with four one year option periods. The contracts will consist of quick reaction task orders under which several qualified offerors will compete for specific task assignments. The Government may make multiple awards under each task order. Some examples of the types of analysis tasks which may be included in each task order are: the contractor shall research the industry and market conditions as they currently exist from both a provider perspective and from a consumer perspective, assess likely industry and market conditions as they might exist following a successful focused program based upon low, medium and high program impacts; and support ATP efforts to identify the marginal contribution of ATP investments and non-investment activities. Each task order will specify the nature of the analytical work required. Qualified contractors will be permitted to propose a technical approach and cost for the analytical work. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. Please request copies of the solicitation in writing to fax number (301) 963-7732. (0192)
