Formal source selection procedures will be followed as prescribed by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15 and FAR Supplement as applicable. A contract will be awarded to the responsible firm whose proposal, conforms to the solicitation, and is determined the "Best Value" to the Government based on cost and non'cost factors. The resulting contract will be awarded for a base period of one year with four one-year option periods. FAR Clause 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services will be included in the resulting contract.

The minimum guarantee of $200,000 applies to the five-year term of the contract. The aggregate value of delivery orders issued under the contract will not exceed $100,000,000. Proposals will be evaluated based on the following evaluation factors: Factor 1 - Past Performance, Factor 2 - Commitment to Socio-Economic Programs, Factor 3 - Specialized Experience, Factor 4 - Contract Management and Approach, Factor 5 - Financial Management Systems, and Factor 6 - Technical Approach (Proposed Task Order 0001).
