At this time, the intention is to award two (2) agreements that will be approximately $600,000 each, for a three-year period from January 2025 through December 2027. MDT reserves the right to revise the number of term contracts, the contract values, or contract timeframes, depending on the responses received. Extension(s) of contracts, by mutual agreement of both parties, may be made at one (1) year intervals, or any interval that is advantageous to MDT.
