    2. B. DSIS shall provide services at the Contractor’s facility and/or at the Government location as agreed to by the Contracting Officer and the ordering office.
  2. PERFORMANCE INCENTIVES

    2. B. The ordering office must establish a maximum performance incentive price for these services and/or total solutions on individual orders or Blanket Purchase Agreements.
    3. C. Incentives should be designed to relate results achieved by the contractor to specified targets. To the maximum extent practicable, ordering offices shall consider establishing incentives where performance is critical to the agency’s mission and incentives are likely to motivate the contractor. Incentives shall be based on objectively measurable tasks.
  3. ORDERING PROCEDURES FOR SERVICES (REQUIRING A STATEMENT OF WORK) (G-FCI-920) (MAR 2003)

    FAR 8.402 contemplates that GSA may occasionally find it necessary to establish special ordering procedures for individual Federal Supply Schedules or for some Special Item Numbers (SINs) within a Schedule. GSA has established special ordering procedures for services that require a Statement of Work. These special ordering procedures take precedence over the procedure in FAR 8.404 (b)(2) through (b)(3).

    When ordering services over $100,000, Department of Defense (DOD) ordering offices and non-DOD agencies placing orders on behalf of the DOD must follow the policies and procedures in the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 208.404-70 – Additional ordering procedures for services. When DFARS 208.404-70 is applicable and there is a conflict between the ordering procedures contained in this clause and the additional ordering procedures for services in DFARS 208.404-70, the DFARS procedures take precedence.

    GSA has determined that the prices for services contained in the contractor’s price list applicable to this Schedule are fair and reasonable. However, the ordering offices using this contract is responsible for considering the level of effort and mix of labor proposed to perform a specific task being ordered and for making a determination that the total firm-fixed price or ceiling price is fair and reasonable.

    1. When ordering IT professional services ordering offices shall -
      1. Prepare a Request for quotation:
        1. A statement of work (a performance-based statement of work is preferred) that outlines, at a minimum, the work to be performed, location of work, period of performance, deliverable schedule, applicable standards, acceptance criteria, and any special requirements (i.e. security clearances, travel, special knowledge, etc.) should be prepared.
        2. The request should include the statement of work and request the contractors submit either a firm-fixed price or a ceiling price to provide the services outlined in the statement of work. A firm-fixed price order shall be requested, unless the ordering office makes a determination that it is not possible at the time of placing the order to estimate accurately the extent of duration of the work or to anticipate cost with any reasonable degree of confidence. When such a determination is made, a labor hour or time-and-materials proposal may be requested. The firm-fixed price shall be based on the hourly rates in the schedule contract and shall consider the mix of labor categories and level of effort required to perform the services described in the statement of work. The firm-fixed price of the order should also include any travel costs or other incidental costs related to performance of the services ordered, unless the order provides for reimbursement of travel costs at the rates provided in the Federal Travel or Joint Travel Regulations. A ceiling price must be established for labor hour and time and material orders.
        3. The request for quotation may request the contractors, if necessary or appropriate, submit a project plan for performing the task and information on the contractor’s experience and/or past performing similar tasks.
        4. The request for quotation shall notify the contractors what basis will be used for selecting the contractor to receive the order. The notice shall include the basis for determining whether the contractors are technically qualified and provide an explanation regarding the intended use of any experience and/or past performance information in determining technical acceptability of responses. If consideration will be limited to schedule contractors who are small business concerns as permitted by paragraph (2) below, the request shall notify the contractors that will be the case.
      2. Transmit the Request to Contractors:
        1. Based upon an initial evaluation of catalogs and price lists, the ordering activity should identify the contractors that appear to offer the best value (considering the scope of services offered, pricing and other factors such as contractors’ locations, as appropriate) and transmit the request as follows:

          NOTE: When buying IT professional services under SIN 132—51 ONLY, the ordering office, at its discretion, may limit consideration to those schedule contractors that are small business concerns. This limitation is not applicable when buying supplies and/or services under other SINs as well as SIN 132-51. The limitation may only be used when at least three (3) small businesses that appear to offer services that will meet the agency’s needs are available, if the order is estimated to exceed the micro-purchase threshold.
        2. The request should be provided to at least three (3) contractors if the proposed order is estimated to exceed the micro-purchase threshold, but not exceed the maximum order threshold.
        3. For proposed orders exceeding the maximum order threshold, the request should be provided to additional contractors that offer services that will meet the ordering activity’s needs.
        4. In addition, the request shall be provided to any contractor who specifically requests a copy of the request for the proposed order.
        5. Ordering activities should strive to minimize the contractors’ costs associated with responding to requests for quotes for specific orders. Requests should be tailored to the minimum level necessary for adequate evaluation and selection for order placement. Oral presentations should be considered, when possible.
      3. Evaluate Responses and Select the Contractor to Receive the Order:

        After responses have been evaluated against the factors identified in the request, the order should be placed with the schedule contractor that represents the best value. (See FAR 8.404)
    2. The establishment of Federal Supply Schedule Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) for recurring services is permitted when the procedures outlined herein are followed. All BPAs for services must define the services that may be ordered under the BPA, along with delivery or performance time frames, billing procedures, etc. The potential volume of orders may offer the ordering office the opportunity to secure volume discounts. When establishing BPAs ordering offices shall –
      1. Inform contractors in the request (based on the agency’s requirement) if a single BPA or multiple BPAs will be established and indicate the basis that will be used for selecting the contractors to be awarded the BPAs.
        1. SINGLE BPA: Generally, a single BPA should be established when the ordering office can define the tasks to be ordered under the BPA and establish a firm-fixed price or ceiling price for individual tasks of services to be ordered. When this occurs, authorized users may place the order directly under the established BPA when the need for service arises. The schedule contractor that represents the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative to meet the agency’s needs should be awarded the BPA. (See FAR 8.404)
        2. MULTIPLE BPAs: When the ordering activity determines multiple BPAs are needed to meet its requirements, the ordering activity should determine which contractors can meet any technical qualifications before establishing the BPAs. When establishing the BPAs, the procedures in (a)(2) above must be followed. The procedures at (a)(2) do not apply to orders issued under multiple BPAs. Authorized users must transmit the request for quote for an order to all BPA holders and then place the order with the Schedule contractor that represents the best value.
      2. Review BPAs periodically. Such reviews shall be conducted at least annually. The purpose of the review is to determine whether the BPA still represents the best value. (See FAR 8.404)
    3. The ordering office should give preference to small business concerns when two or more contractors can provide the services at the same firm-fixed price or ceiling price.
    4. When the ordering office’s requirement involves both products as well as executive, administrative and/or professional services, the ordering office should total the prices for the products and the firm-fixed price for the services and select the contractor that represents the best value.
    5. The ordering office, at a minimum, should document orders by identifying the contractor the services were purchased from, the services purchased and the amount paid. If other than a firm-fixed price order is placed, such documentation should include the basis for the determination to use a labor-hour or time-and-materials order. For agency requirements in excess of the micro-purchase threshold, the order file should document the evaluation of schedule contractors’ proposals that formed the basis for the selection of the contractor that received the order and the rationale for any trade-off made in making the selection.
  4. ORDER
    1. Agencies may use written orders, EDI orders, blanket purchase agreements, individual purchase orders, or task orders for ordering services under this contract. Blanket Purchase Agreement shall not extend beyond the end of the contract period; all services and delivery shall be made and the contract terms and conditions shall continue in effect until the contract terms and conditions shall continue in effect until the completion of the order. Orders for tasks, which extend beyond the fiscal year for which funds are available shall include FAR 52.232-19 Availability of Funds for the Next Fiscal Year. The purchase order shall specify the availability of funds and the period for which funds are available.
    2. B. All task orders are subject to the terms and conditions of the contract. In the event of conflict between a task order and the contract, the contract will take precedence.
  5. PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES
    1. DSIS shall commence performance of services on the date agreed to by the Contractor and the ordering office.
    2. DSIS agrees to render services only during normal working hours, unless otherwise agreed to by the Contractor and the ordering office.
    3. The Agency should include the criteria for satisfactory completion for each task in the Statement of Work or Delivery Order. Services shall be completed in a good and workmanlike manner.
    4. Any DSIS travel required in the performance of IT Services must comply with the Federal Travel Regulation or Joint Travel Regulations, as applicable, in effect on the date(s) the travel is performed. Established Federal Government per diem rates will apply to all DSIS travel. DSIS cannot use GSA city pair contracts.
  6. INSPECTION OF SERVICES

    The Inspection of Services-Fixed-Price (AUG 1996) clause at FAR 52.246-4 applies to firm-fixed price orders placed under this contract. The Inspection-Time-and-Materials and Labor-Hour (JAN 1986) clause at FAR 52.246-6 applies to time-and-materials and labor-hour orders placed under this contract.
  7. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CONTRACTOR

    DSIS shall comply with all laws, ordinances and regulations (Federal, State, City, or otherwise) covering work of this character. If the end product of a task order is software, then FAR 52.227-14 Rights in Data – General, may apply.
  8. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE GOVERNMENT

    Subject to security regulations, the ordering office shall permit DSIS access to all facilities necessary to perform the requisite IT Services.
  9. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR

    All IT Services performed by DSIS under the terms of this contract shall be as an independent Contractor, and not as an agent or employee of the Government.
  10. ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
    1. Definitions. “DSIS” means the person, firm, unincorporated association, joint venture, partnership, or corporation that is a party to this contract.

      “DSIS and its affiliates” and “DSIS or its affiliates” refers to the Contractor, its chief executives, directors, officers, subsidiaries, affiliates, subcontractors at any tier, and consultants and any joint venture involving DSIS, any entity into or with which DSIS subsequently merges or affiliates, or any other successor or assignee of DSIS.

      An “Organizational conflict of interest” exists when the nature of the work to be performed under a proposed Government contract, without some restriction on activities by DSIS and its affiliates, may either (i) result in an unfair competitive advantage to DSIS or its affiliates or (ii) impair DSIS or its affiliates’ objectivity in performing contract work.
    2. To avoid an organizational or financial conflict of interest and to avoid prejudicing the best interests of the Government, ordering offices may place restrictions on DSIS, its affiliates, chief executives, directors, subsidiaries and subcontractors at any tier when placing orders against schedule contracts. Such restrictions shall be consistent with FAR 9.505 and shall be designed to avoid, neutralize, or mitigate organizational conflicts of interest that might otherwise exist in situations related to individual orders placed against the schedule contract. Examples of situations, which may require restrictions, are provided at FAR 9.508.
  11. INVOICES

    DSIS, upon completion of the work ordered, shall submit invoices for IT services. The ordering office on individual orders if appropriate may authorize progress payments. Progress payments shall be based upon completion of defined milestones or interim products. Invoices shall be submitted monthly for recurring services performed during the preceding month
  12. PAYMENTS

    For firm-fixed price orders the ordering activity shall pay the Contractor, upon submission of proper invoices or vouchers, the prices stipulated in this contract for service rendered and accepted. Progress payments shall be made only when authorized by the order. For time and materials orders, the Payments under Time and Materials and Labor Hour Contracts at FAR 52.232-7 (DEC 2002), Alternate I (APR 1984) applies to time and materials orders placed under this contract. For labor hour orders, the Payment under Time and Materials and Labor Hour Contracts at FAR 52.232-7 (DEC 2002), Alternate II (DEC 2002) applies to labor hour orders placed under this contract.
  13. RESUMES

    Resumes shall be provided to the GSA Contracting Officer or the user agency upon request.
  14. INCIDENTAL SUPPORT COSTS

    Incidental support costs are available outside the scope of this contract. The costs will be negotiated separately with the ordering agency in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the FAR.
  15. APPROVAL OF SUBCONTRACTS

    The ordering activity may require that the Contractor receive, from the ordering activity’s Contracting Officer, written consent before placing any subcontract for furnishing any of the work called for in a task order.
  16. DESCRIPTION OF IT SERVICES AND PRICING
    1. DSIS shall provide a description of each type of IT Service offered under Special Item Numbers 132-51. IT Services should be presented in the same manner as the Contractor sells to its commercial and other Government customers. If the Contractor is proposing hourly rates, a description of all corresponding commercial job titles (labor categories) for those individuals who will perform the service should be provided.
    2. Pricing for all IT Services shall be in accordance with the Contractor’s customary commercial practices; e.g., hourly rates, monthly rates, term rates, and/or fixed prices.
    The following is an example of the manner in which the description of a commercial job title should be presented:
