WSNC IDIQ Oversight

The program manager will periodically review the TOs issued off the IDIQ to verify compliance with the designated terms. Instances of non-compliance will be noted and referred to the administering CO for consideration for action and in performing the annual IDIQ review. VA employees ordering off the IDIQ will also be evaluated for their compliance with IDIQ terms.

Instances of non-compliance will be noted and referred to the administering CO and the relevant supervisor for consideration.

The administering CO will perform annual reviews and as required by circumstances. Instances of excellent contractor service will be noted for the same purposes.

Task Order Oversight

Each ordering location will designate a station point of contact (station POC), who will be responsible for verifying TO performance. Station POC’s may designate appropriate VA personnel to assist in monitoring services rendered through one or a combination of the following mechanisms:

1) Facilities will monitor Contractor performance to ensure that supplies ordered have been delivered in a timely manner. Any incidents of Contractor noncompliance as evidenced by the monitoring procedures will be forwarded to the ordering CO for action and administering CO for annual performance evaluation consideration.

POC will perform periodic spot checks and document findings. The VA will pay only for supplies actually received. Station POC contract monitoring and recordkeeping procedures will be sufficient to ensure proper payment and allow audit verification that services are provided.
