Common use of ON RAMP Clause in Contracts

ON RAMP. 18.1. Consistent with FAR 16.504(c)(1)(ii)(A), the PCO has determined that it is in the Government’s best interest that at all times during the term of the Basic Contract, there remain an adequate number of STARS II Contractors eligible to compete for Orders. Over time, the total number of STARS II Contractors may fluctuate due to various reasons including industry consolidation, significant changes in the marketplace or advances in technology, general economic conditions, the Government's exercise of the off-ramp process, or other reasons. Recognizing this, GSA intends to periodically review the total number of STARS II Contractors participating in the STARS II Ordering Process and determine whether it would be in the Government’s best interest to initiate an open season to add new contractors to the STARS II Basic Contract. This is a discretionary unilateral authority of the Government.
