My agency has a Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) with let's say 25 AE Firms. For projects under $250k, Is it possible to have the engineers review the SF330s on file for each task order and then provide a list of the top three ranked and then begin negotiating with the top ranked firm without holding discussions? The FAR is clear on what to do when selecting an AE firm using the short selection process, but I don't see where an IDIQ is considered after the firms have all been determined qualified at the parent contract level. Or, are we still required to hold discussions with the interested AE firms to rank them before negotiations?
