Common use of OFF RAMP Clause in Contracts

OFF RAMP. 16.1. To ensure success of the STARS II Program, each STARS II Contractor is expected to participate in the STARS II Ordering process by submitting proposals in response to task order solicitations for which the STARS II Contractor has a reasonable chance for award, to successfully perform the terms of their Orders, and to promptly improve performance should it ever not meet the terms of the Orders. If an STARS II Contractor does not meet these expectations, it is the Government’s intent to “off-ramp” the Contractor by: (a) Permitting such Contractor’s STARS II Contract to expire instead of exercising the Option; or (b) Implementing a termination for convenience (if applicable and only if such action is in the Government’s best interest); or (c) Implementing a termination for cause, if applicable; or (d) Taking any other action which may be permitted under the STARS II Contract’s terms and conditions. 16.2. Prior to exercising the option period, the Contractor will be required to re- represent business size status consistent with FAR 52.219-28 and the associated regulatory framework. 16.3. Constellation II awardees will be required to affirmatively demonstrate that they still maintain an active industry credential (one of those required for initial STARS II contract award) in order to be considered for the option period in Constellation II.
