1. Answers to the following Additional Market Research Questions

1. Would you be more, less, or equally likely to bid if the contract territory was smaller? For example, are some of these counties listed above a concern that would prevent you from bidding on this contract? Why?

1. Would you be more, less, or equally likely to bid on this project if it was solicited and awarded as a Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) to more than one contract with no set pricing, and all task orders would be competed amongst the MATOC holders; or as a Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC) to one contractor with set pricing for five years? Why?

1. Would you be more, less, or equally likely to bid on this project if it included only land maintenance and repair; or if it included land and some facilities maintenance and repair? Why?

1. Would you be more, less, or equally likely to bid on this project if it was solicited and awarded as a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) or an Infinite Delivery, Infinite Quantity (IDIQ)? Why?

Both BPA and IDIQ would include the general terms and conditions and scope of the requirement, which would flow down to the associated orders.

BPAs are agreements, not contracts. There is no guarantee of usage or dollar amount to be spent against them. There would be no pricing set, and there would be multiple vendors as BPA Holders. Each BPA Call Order would be solicited to all BPA Holders, but the BPA Holders are not required to respond to the solicitations.

IDIQs are contracts. They have a guaranteed minimum amount of money that would be spent against them. There could be one contractor (SATOC) or multiple contractors (MATOC). Pricing could be set for the five-year period, or no pricing set for the five-year period. Each Task Order would be solicited to all IDIQ holders, and all IDIQ holders would be required to respond to the solicitations.
