This is an IDIQ contract with no pre-established fixed contract prices.

Contractors are not guaranteed work in excess of the minimum guarantee. The purpose of the GPOL MACC is to provide construction and engineering services to perform inspection, testing, design, and construction (primarily maintenance and repair) for pipelines, fuel storage tanks, and associated POL related equipment at various locations worldwide.
