All three 8(a) contractors will compete on subsequent task orders. The projects will be scoped by a Contractor/Government team prior to submission of task order proposals. These projects may not have traditional plans and specifications but may include sketches and requests for catalog cuts and other submittals. The salient requirements of the indivdual task orders will be scoped by the Government/Contractor team to develop a mutually agreed upon Statement of Work, ultimately approved by the Government. Award factors will vary depending on the unique requirements for each task order, however, pricing will weigh heavily. Award factors may include past performance, quality of deliverables, ability to meet schedule requirements, relevant experience, cost control and price or cost. The awarded task order will be a performance scoped, firm fixed price task with a specific completion date.

Failure to participate responsibly in walk throughs and submit proposals on Task Orders may result in the Government not exercising its option to extend the contract. Only the three selected 8(a) contractors will be permitted to propose on the Task Orders. Proposals from other contractors will not be accepted. A minimum of two proposals will satisfy the competitive requirement of SOC and preclude the necessity of soliciting for a replacement contractor if for any reason one of the contracts is terminated or one of the proposers is unable to participate in the process. Failure to participate responsibly in the task order process may result in forfeiture of the minimum guarantee. (0050)
