The basis for award of the base contracts for the MATOC has not been determined, the current contracts were awarded through Best Value with Trade-offs. Future quote mark mini quote mark task orders (specific task orders for students, mobile training teams, curriculum development, etc.) may be evaluated on either Best Value with Trade-offs (Labor Hours) or Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (Firm Fixed Price). A funding task order will be awarded at the same time as the MATOC. The government will reserve a portion of the requirement for at least 2 small business if responses to this synopsis provide a reasonable expectation that two or more firms are capable of providing the required services. The current contract has a program value of $96M. Management of multiple quote mark mini quote mark task orders at one time is required. Approximately 1375 mini task order awards have been issued under the DLI-W contracts with the average task order value at $54K.
