The software will be furnished by the Corps of Engineers after contract award. Responding firms should indicate ability to access an electronic bulletin board and automated review management system (ARMS) via modem. Proposed procurement will result in a one-year, fixed price indefinite delivery contract with option to extend for two additional years; task orders of NTE $150,000 each to be issued as requirements arise. Total contract amount shall not exceed $400,000 per year with a cumulative contract amount not to exceed $1,200,000.

It is anticipated that the selected firm will be required to submit a subcontracting plan with its fee proposal if it is a large business. For this procurement, a large business is a concern for which the annual average gross revenue taken for the last three (3) fiscal years exceeds $2.5 million.
