If two IDIQ contract awards are made, future requirements will be competed between the IDIQ contract awardees following the fair opportunity process described in FAR 16.505(b)(1). Ordering procedures and selection criteria for Delivery Order competitions will be identified in the solicitation and contracts. Both contracts will allow for award of any empty case assembly configuration and shipping container.
