Consolidation: This MATOC constitutes consolidation in that it combines construction projects at multiple discrete sites into one contract, this approach provides the best combination of competitive procedures, streamlined acquisition, qualified prime contractors, efficient use of manpower, and some cost efficiency thereby providing the best way to support SAS's MILCON/Large SRM program. Per FAR 7.107-2(d)(3), quantifiable benefits of administrative/personnel cost savings for this $99 Million procurement must exceed the 10% threshold, or $9 Million, to clearly justify a financial benefit of consolidation. Although the savings demonstrated above do not meet the threshold in FAR 7.107-2(d)(3), when comparing a MATOC and other procurement methods, other benefits are clearly demonstrated. The consolidation of requirements under this MATOC is critical to SAS's success in meeting DoD requirements can be met when projects are not received in sufficient time to compete as full and open standalone requirements. Although this procurement will be set aside for small businesses, all firms will be invited to compete and will receive fair consideration for a contract under this MATOC. Considering the discussion provided above, consolidation is necessary and justified asthe benefits of consolidation substantially exceed the benefits of the alternative contracting approaches. Fulfilling this requirement through separate, stand-alone contracts would result in considerable risk of higher costs and scheduling constraints to the Government. Consolidation of the requirements promotes flexibility to complete the work in the time frame required due to funding constraints. Consolidation will not negatively impact small business participation in these programs but will promote competition and motivate both lower costs to the contractor and overall better pricing for the Government.
