5116.5-Multiple Award Task Order Contracts.

(1) Requiring documentation and using procedures beyond those required by FAR Part 16.5 adds little or no value to the selection/placement of task orders under Multiple Award Task Order (MATO) contracts. In this regard, proposals submitted in response to competition under MATO contracts should be limited to no more than five pages, including attachments. Approval in writing by the Principal Assistant Responsible for Contracting is required for deviating from this five page limitation. Contracting Officers are admonished to keep submission requirements to a minimum and use streamlined procedures, including oral presentations.

(2) Ordering decisions must be appropriately documented. Critical decisions, such as the use of the exceptions from the fair opportunity to be considered process described at FAR 16.505 (b)(2) or the selection of a higher priced proposal because of its greater technical merit, must be documented in sufficient detail to justify the decision.

(3) With the exception of architect-engineer contracts, price shall be considered in the ordering process. While awards should be made on the basis of best value, award decisions shall take price into consideration.

(4) Past performance information, including quality, timeliness, and cost control on earlier orders placed under the same MATO contract, should be considered in the ordering process. Past performance information should already be readily available in program and technical offices. Requests for contractor submission of past performance information with proposal submission under MATO contracts shall be eliminated.
