The contractor is required to staff effort on a 24/7 basis and will be expected to perform in the event of unpredictable emergencies system failures. As a result of changing DoD directives and requirements, the contractor's work effort can not be fully defined at contract award. The contractor is required to work around DMEA workloads which include the semiconductor manufacturing facility and requires the contractor to have a flexible schedule for hardware and software installation, maintenance, and updates. DMEA is growing and anticipates in-house workload fluctuations and growth. In accordance with FAR 16.601(c) (1) a time and materials contract is suitable for this effort. The determination is based on the following rationale: (a) The contract is for information technology, information assurance, and infrastructure protection support services where the level of effort required is not fully known at this time. This will be a competitively awarded contract, thus fair and reasonable pricing will be established by the competitive process; (b) Contract will include a ceiling price that the contractor exceeds at their own risk; (c) Appropriate Government surveillance will be performed during performance and will provide reasonable assurance that efficient methods and effective cost controls are used; nearly all contract performance is on-site at the Government's facility; (d) The contractor's accounting system is adequate for accumulating costs applicable to the order; and (e) Our local COTR and PCO will be responsible for surveillance during the performance period. Our oversight will provide reasonable assurance that efficient methods and effective cost controls are used.
