BRIEF COMPANY OVERVIEW

The Choice was founded in 1983 with a simple mission: “To be a different type of staffing service.”

Our mission has not changed. The Choice, however, has evolved from placing receptionists and administrative assistants in the 1980’s and 1990’s to assisting our DC area clients with staffing their membership teams, fundraising and development personnel as well as event and communications specialists.

Because many of our clients have used The Choice as their primary staffing vendor for so many years, we know and understand their organizations’ staffing needs. Our extensive referral network gives us access to “the best and the brightest.” Whether it is a temporary database specialist or a full-time direct hire chief of staff, our recruiters, who have worked with us far beyond the industry average, deliver time and again.

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 The Choice for Temporaries, Inc. dba The Choice 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 MAS 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 Performance Work Statement (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.

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.
