• Contract Type: Time-and-materials (T&M) clauses will be removed from the solicitation. Service CLINs (X001 series) are Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) and intended to be all-inclusive of labor, profit, and indirect costs. Materials CLINs (X002 series) are Not-to-Exceed (NTE).

Allowable costs include freight, taxes, expedite fees, import duties, and hazmat surcharges with proper documentation.
• Period of Performance (PoP): The base period is 9 months (April 19, 2026–January 18, 2027). The reason for the short base period is an internal decision.
• Option Exercise: The government will use standard 30-day advance notice for option exercise, with a 60-day preliminary notice.
