The offeror chosen to be on-ramped will be the most highly rated offeror in the pool as determined by the integrated assessment. Any on-ramped awardees will compete with any existing or remaining MACC contractors for all Task Orders (excluding the need to meet the minimum obligation amount).

If for any reason, an awardee cannot participate in a competition, the awardee shall provide written notice to the Government of reason(s) for non-participation prior to proposal due date. Participation will be tracked and monitored by Government personnel; failures by IT/Fiber Infrastructure MACC IDIQ contractors to participate in site visits and submit proposals may result in the Government off-ramping, not exercising the option to extend the contract, or exclusion of the contractor from further competition.
