USPS IDIQ AE Services Virginia

y comparing differences in the value of technical and/or management features with differences in price. The Postal Service is more concerned with obtaining superior technical or management features than with making an award at the lowest overall price. However, the Postal Service will not make an award at a significantly higher overall price to achieve slightly superior technical or management features. The suppliers with the highest technical capability will be short-listed for negotiations per the Brooks Act. The CO in conference with the technical review team will determine if oral presentations are needed prior to conducting a consensus review. Offerors are advised that award will only be made to those offerors whose proposal provides the combination of features that offers the best or greatest overall value. In order to fulfill recurring needs within the advertised areas, multiple IDIQ contracts will be awarded in each service area. IDIQ�s are generally used for recurring types of A-E services where procurement of these services individually by normal announcement, selection, negotiation, and award procedures would not be economical or timely. Task orders for particular projects will be negotiated and issued under the terms and conditions of the master contract. The IDIQ contract type is being utilized as these are �service based� requirements requiring negotiated rates with each supplier. The team will then issue multiple IDIQ master contracts in response to the requirement needs; the master contract will state that all work issued from the contract will be Firm Fixed priced.
