The minimum Task Order amount is $500.00 and the maximum Task Order amount is $500,000.00. The contract ceiling value will be a maximum of $4.9M. No contract for construction of any project shall be awarded to the firm, subsidiaries, or affiliates that designed the project. Prior to contract award, the selected firm must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) at www.sam.gov. Failure to register will render the firm ineligible for award. If already registered, ensure representations and certifications in SAM are current.

Amendments to this notice will be posted to www.SAM.gov and will not be provided individually.

For example, a prime contractor, first level subcontractor and/or team members who were selected for one A/E contract will not be considered for another A/E contract.
