1.         CONTRACT INFORMATION:

These contracts are procured as a small business set-aside. The NAICS Code’s are 541330 and 541310.

The number one, two and three ranked small business firms will be selected for negotiations based on demonstrated competence and qualifications for the required work. The length of each Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) is a maximum of 60 months and will not include optional time periods. Three (3) IDC’s will share $49.9M total capacity of the MATOC. Task Orders will be issued by negotiated firm-fixed-price task orders to the most technically qualified offeror in response to the Task Order Requirement Notification (TORN) and will be issued under the terms and conditions of this MATOC.  The government guarantees a minimum value of $4,000 seed task order for each individual IDC. Labor rates for each discipline, overhead rates, and escalation factors for each 1 year time period will be negotiated for each basic IDC and profit will be negotiated for each task order not for each basic IDC.

Work distribution between IDCs: Task Orders (TO) will be distributed according to the experience and qualifications of the A-E firms. The specific contractor chosen for a TO will be selected based on factors such as technical expertise, demonstrated performance, specific ability, TO size and complexity, and contractor availability to complete the TO in the time required. We are going to have the A-E firms to compete amongst the highly qualified selectees for this contract. Above all, it is the intent of the New York District to not have a “hollow” contract.
