Prior to utilizing an off ramp, the Government Contracting Officer will notify the contractor of issues involving unsatisfactory performance or failures to comply with security requirements and will allow the contractor 30 days to remedy the issues. Termination for cause, in accordance with applicable FAR clauses, will also be considered for individual orders without utilizing an off ramp for the contractor for the remaining duration of the contract.

On Ramp Procedures The Government will review BPA performance and requirements on a regular basis (at least yearly) and determine the necessity of on ramping. The Government reserves the right to announce and issue a new solicitation for the purposes of: (i) adding additional Contractors to expeditiously meet the requirement as the need for increased assessments materialize; and (ii) increase the small business pool of Contractors; and (iii) increase competition. The Government may implement on-ramp procedures at any time by reopening the competition and utilizing the same basis of award established in the initial solicitation. Any resulting BPA(s) awarded will include the same terms and conditions as the current basic contract. Implementing this procedure will not affect the overall period of performance for the basic agreement. Off Ramp Procedures The Government reserves the right to implement off-ramp procedures, which would result in the removal of BPA holders. The criteria for off-ramping may include, but not limited to, BPA holders not proposing on order request(s), not having at least one order award, and/or unsatisfactorily meeting the SOW requirements. If implemented, off-ramp procedures will remove BPA holders by not exercising the next available ordering period or cancelling the BPA.
