Onboarding Is A Result Of The Provisions Established In The Original Solicitation And Is Issued As A Solicitation Amendment To The Original Solicitation. The Terms And Conditions Of The Original Solicitation Require That 'the Award Decision Under The Open Season Solicitation Is Based Upon The Same Evaluation Factors/sub-factors As The Original Solicitation.' Additionally, The Terms And Conditions Of The Original Solicitation Require That, 'the Terms And Conditions Of Any Resulting New Ibpa Awards Are Identical To The Original Awards And Solicitation, To Include Period Of Performance.' Accordingly, While The Government Will Entertain Suggestions And Industry Input Regarding The Onboarding Amendment, The Government Anticipates Very Little Change To Result From This Input, Especially As It Regards Any Potential Changes To The Evaluation Factors Or Resulting Terms And Conditions. this Amendment For Onboarding Is Against A Multiple Award Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement (ibpa) Solicitation Issued As A 100% Small Business Set-aside. the Open Season Onboarding Period Will Coincide With The Usfs Contracting Officer (co) Ibpa Annual Review Process, Traditionally Referred To As A 'rollover' Modification Process For Existing Ibpa Awardees. Existing Ibpa Awardees Will Have The Same Opportunity To Revise, Modify Rates, And Add Resources The Same As Potential New Contractors Do. all Proposed Resources Are Subject To The Original Solicitation Criteria. New Offerors That Meet The Eligibility Requirements Set Forth In The Original Solicitation May Submit A Quote Response Through The Vipr System During Open Season. Award Decisions From An Open Season Solicitation Response Are Based Upon The Same Evaluation Factors/sub-factors As The Original Solicitation. New Quote Responses Must Meet All Acceptability Pass/fail Criteria Of The Original Solicitation. The Terms And Conditions Of Any Resulting New Ibpa Awards Are Identical To The Original Awards And Solicitation, To Include Period Of Performance. Immediately After Onboarding And At The Conclusion Of The Co Annual Review/rollover Modification Period, Any Additional Contractors Or Accepted New Resources To Existing Agreements Are Eligible To Receive Dispatches/bpa Calls With The Same Ordering Procedures As Listed Within The Agreements.
