All three contractors will competitively bid on subsequentdelivery orders. These subsequent projects will be non-complex performance oriented tasks requiring minimal design. They will be scoped by the Government/Contractor team and may not have traditional plans and specifications but may include sketches,and requests for catalog cuts or other submittals.

Award factors will vary depending on theunique requirements of each Delivery Order, however pricing will weight heavily. The awarded Delivery Order will be a performance scoped, firm fixed price task with a specific completion date. Should the second or third IDIQ contractor be unable tocompetitively secure a Delivery Order to meet the minimum guarantee, award factors may be modified in order to ensure each participating contractor is awarded Delivery Orders meeting the minimum guarantee.
