Solicitation Attachment XY – On & Off-Ramp Procedures
OFF-RAMP PROCEDURES: The Off-Ramp process under an IDIQ contract encompasses several methods by which the Government may exercise its right to remove a contractor. The Government will periodically review the contractor’s performance. The Off-Ramp methods include, but are not limited to, procedures under:
FAR Part 49 for contractor or orders thereunder (Termination for Default, Termination for convenience of the Government, Termination with No-Cost Settlement) The Government, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to off-ramp a contractor by enforcing the contract Termination, at no cost to the Government, for the reason stated in Clause 52.249-2, or reasons below:
• Failure to submit responsive proposals on 75% of task order proposal requests over a twelve (12) month period of performance
• Late performance of Task Order workload such as completing Task Orders in delinquent status or being assessed liquidated damages on Task Orders
• Inability of prime contractor or subcontractors performing work to maintain proper certification • Poor Task Order performance as evidence by Contracting Officer notification or CPARS ratings under Satisfactory Rating.
• Unresponsiveness to warranty work
• Failure to provide responsive (72 hrs.) customer service. Maximum of five (5) occurrences over a twelve (12) month period. Twelve (12) month period will begin on the IDIQ Award Effective Date. The award’s effective date will then mark the anniversary date for that IDIQ for the remainder of the life of the IDIQ.
• Unsafe site conditions resulting in an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) discrepancy.
By submitting a proposal under the original solicitation for this requirement, the contractor agrees (i.e., as under a bilateral agreement) to be bound by the terms and conditions of these instructions. As such, the Contractor agrees that Termination at no cost to the Government will not result in a termination for Default.
The Government will provide a 30-calendar day written notice if it intends to off-ramp an IDIQ contractor. On Off-Ramped contractor is required to complete ongoing Task Orders.

ON-RAMP PROCEDURES: The Government reserves the right to “On-Ramp” additional contractors during the life of this IDIQ contract by activating On-Ramp IDIQ awards. On-ramp of contractors may take place at any time after the initial set of effective IDIQ awards under this solicitation. The Government may choose to on-ramp any number of On-Ramp IDIQ awardees
