The minimum guarantee for each BOA/IDIQ will be $5,000, which is expected to be met upon the issuance of the first task order.

No firm will receive an award for more than one Basic Ordering Agreement/IDIQ Contract as a result of this solicitation. Task orders will be firm fixed price and will be subject to the successful negotiation of price and performance time. The minimum and maximum size (in dollars) task order that a firm will be required to accept will be established separately for each award, provided however that the minimum size will be no greater than $5,000.
