Once I have evaluated task order proposals and selected the winning contractor, how is the task order formally awarded?
Upon receipt of the SRDP from the customer, the NITAAC team conducts a review to ensure that administrative and regulatory requirements have been met, that the SRDP has been adequately documented, that proper evaluation procedures were followed and documented, and that fair treatment was provided during the evaluation process. Upon completion of the review, NITAAC will provide the customer with a NITAAC Approval Letter authorizing the customer to issue an order to the selected prime contractor. NITAAC will also provide a copy of the NITAAC Approval Letter to the prime contractor. NITAAC will announce the award decision to all prime contractors via e-mail. This includes awards made under one of the exceptions to the “Fair Opportunity to be Considered” rule.
