     2. Discuss why this acquisition benefits the Government such as when the agency will accomplish its mission more efficiently and effectively (e.g., take advantage of the servicing agency's specialized expertise; or gain access to contractors with needed expertise); or 
     3. Discuss why the benefits of ordering through an indefinite delivery contract facilitates access to small business concerns, 8(a) contractors, women-owned small business concerns, HUBZone small business concerns, veteran-owned small business concerns, or service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns. 
     4. Identify the order type appropriate for the acquisition (FAR Parts 8, 16, and 19). The order type is limited to the contract vehicle selected, for example -
          Millennia Contract Vehicle allows for Firm, Fixed Price (FFP); Cost Plus Fixed-Fee (CPFF), Cost Plus Award-Fee (CPAF), and Cost Reimbursable (CR)
          Millennia Lite Vehicle allows for FFP, CPFF, Cost Plus Incentive Fee (CPIF), CPAF, Labor Hour (LH), and Time and Materials (T&M)
          ANSWER Vehicle allows for FFP and T&M
          GSA Schedule MAS allows for FFP and T&M

Discuss the reason for selection of the order type, e.g. -
     Are requirements well defined? 
     Are changes to the level of effort anticipated? 
     Is full funding available for FFP? 
     Will the effort be incrementally funded? 
     Is the risk more appropriately placed on the Government or contractor?

State the anticipated period of performance with all options and the approach to multiyear contracting (FAR Part 17) -
     Does this effort require a multiyear Task Order and why is that more advantageous to the government? 
     Is a base period and option years appropriate, or is a multiyear order appropriate? Prior to structuring task order as a multiyear order, the approvals and procedures outlined in FAR/GSAR/GSAM Part 17 must be complied with. 
     Are the year, type and amount of funding an issue in awarding a multiyear Task Order?

Identify any special clauses special solicitation provisions, or FAR deviations (FAR Part 1.4) required, e.g. -
     Is the data rights clause included to cover software development? 
     Are unique software license clauses required? Does the client have any clauses that must be included? 
     Does the Agency require specific clauses, e.g., DFAR clauses?
