The entire term of the contract is a maximum of $70 million or 90 months (consisting of a 12-month base period, six (6) 12-month option periods and one (1) 6-month extension of services period), whichever occurs first.  Task orders will typically range between $3,500 and $10,000,000. Task orders may be above this limit; however, contractors are not obligated to accept such task orders under the general terms of the contract. The Government makes no representation as to the number of task orders or actual amount of work to be ordered; however, during the term of the contract, a minimum of $3,500 is guaranteed for each awardee under the contract. As task orders are awarded that exceed the $3,500, the $3,500 minimum guarantee will be deobligated and the Government’s obligation for the minimum guarantee for the contract will be satisfied.  The estimated workload for the Unrestricted Division is approximately $1.5 million and the amount for the SBSA Division is approximately $68.5 million. These amounts may fluctuate with the potential need for the different types of specific services listed above and whether adequate competition exists within the SBSA Division and those contractors are capable of successfully executing those services.  If one or no SBSA Division contractors submit a proposal in response to a task order request for proposal (RFP), the Contracting Officer may compete the task order amongst the Unrestricted Division contractors.

The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 712120 – Historical Sites and the corresponding small business size standard is $13 million (which will determine eligibility for awards under the Small Business Set Aside (SBSA) Division).
