INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLACING ORDERS FOR SERVICES BASED ON GSA SCHEDULE

HOURLY RATES

GSA provides a streamlined, efficient process for ordering the services you need. GSA has already determined that Thrivner, Inc. meets the technical requirements and that our prices offered are fair and reasonable. Agencies may use written orders, facsimile orders, credit card orders, blanket purchase agreement orders or individual purchase orders under this contract.

If it is determined that your agency needs an outside source to provide GSA Schedule services, follow these simple steps:

Orders under the Micro-Purchase Threshold

• Select the contractor best suited for your needs and place the order.

Orders in-between the Micro-Purchase Threshold and the Simplified Acquisition Threshold

• Prepare a SOW or PWS in accordance with FAR 8.405-2(b).

• Prepare and send the RFQ (including SOW and evaluation criteria) to at least three GSA Schedule contractors.

• Evaluate, then make a "Best Value" determination.

Note: The ordering activity should request GSA Schedule contractors to submit firm-fixed prices to perform the services identified in the SOW.

Orders over the Simplified Acquisition Threshold

• Prepare the RFQ (including the SOW and evaluation criteria) and post on eBuy to afford all Schedule contractors the opportunity to respond, or provide the RFQ to as many Schedule contractors as practicable, consistent with market research, to reasonably ensure that quotes are received from at least three contractors.

• Seek price reductions.

• Evaluate all responses and place the order, or establish the BPA with the GSA Schedule contractor that represents the best value (refer to FAR 8.405-2(d)).

Note: The ordering activity should request GSA Schedule contractors to submit firm-fixed prices to perform the services identified in the SOW.

Developing a Statement of Work (SOW)

In the SOW, include the following information:

• Work to be performed,

• Location of work,

• Period of performance,

• Deliverable schedule, and

• Special standards and any special requirements, where applicable.

Preparing a Request for Quote (RFQ)

• Include the SOW and evaluation criteria;

• Request fixed price, ceiling price, or, if not possible, labor hour or time and materials order;

• If preferred, request a performance plan from contractors and information on past experience and include information on the basis for selection;

• May be posted on GSA’s electronic RFQ system, e- Buy.

BLANKET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Ordering activities may establish BPAs under any schedule contract to fill repetitive needs for supplies or services. BPAs may be established with one or more schedule contractors. The number of BPAs to be established is within the discretion of the ordering activity establishing the BPAs and should be based on a strategy that is expected to maximize the effectiveness of the BPA(s). In determining how many BPAs to establish, consider:

• The scope and complexity of the requirement(s);

• The need to periodically compare multiple technical approaches or prices;

• The administrative costs of BPAs; and

• The technical qualifications of the schedule contractor(s).

Establishment of a single BPA, or multiple BPAs, shall be made using the same procedures outlined in 8.405-1 or 8.405-2.

BPAs shall address the frequency of ordering, invoicing, discounts, requirements (e.g., estimated quantities, work to be performed), delivery locations, and time.

When establishing multiple BPAs, the ordering activity shall specify the procedures for placing orders under the BPAs.

Establishment of a multi-agency BPA against a Federal Supply Schedule contract is permitted if the multi-agency BPA identifies the participating agencies and their estimated requirements at the time the BPA is established.

Ordering from BPAs:

Single BPA. If the ordering activity establishes one BPA, authorized users may place the order directly under the established BPA when the need for the supply or service arises.

Multiple BPAs. If the ordering activity establishes multiple BPAs, before placing an order exceeding the micro-purchase threshold, the ordering activity shall:

• Forward the requirement, or statement of work and the evaluation criteria, to an appropriate number of BPA holders, as established in the BPA ordering procedures; and

• Evaluate the responses received, make a best value determination (see 8.404(d)), and place the order with the BPA holder that represents the best value.

BPAs for hourly rate services. If the BPA is for hourly rate services, the ordering activity shall develop a statement of work for requirements covered by the BPA. All orders under the BPA shall specify a price for the performance of the tasks identified in the statement of work.

Duration of BPAs. BPAs generally should not exceed five years in length, but may do so to meet program requirements.

Contractors may be awarded BPAs that extend beyond the current term of their GSA Schedule contract, so long as there are option periods in their GSA Schedule contract that, if exercised, will cover the BPA’s period of performance.

Review of BPAs:

The ordering activity that established the BPA shall review it at least once a year to determine whether:

• The schedule contract, upon which the BPA was established, is still in effect;

• The BPA still represents the best value (see 8.404(d)); and

• Estimated quantities/amounts have been exceeded and additional price reductions can be obtained.

The ordering activity shall document the results of its review.

The Service Contract Labor Standards (SCLS), formerly known as the Service Contract Act (SCA) is applicable to this contract as it applies to the entire Multiple Award Schedule and all services provided. While no specific labor categories have been identified as being subject to SCLS due to exemptions for professional employees (FAR 22.1101, 22.1102 and 29 CFR 541.300), this contract still maintains the provisions and protections for SCLS eligible labor categories. If and / or when the contractor adds SCLS labor categories / employees to the contract through the modification process, the contractor must inform the Contracting Officer and establish a SCLS/SCA matrix identifying the GSA labor category titles, the occupational code, SCLS/SCA labor category titles and the applicable WD number. Failure to do so may result in cancellation of the contract.
