B.1 General
The OIT CloudFirst Enterprise Systems Support Services (CFESSS) solution is a suite of multiple award Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts consisting of four pools: Pool A – Operations, Pool B – Application Development, Pool C – Cyber
Security, and Pool D – PMO Support Services. These pools provide resources in support of the operations of the US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) Office of Information Technology (OIT), in its mission to support the whole of the agency. The shared ceiling dollar amount for all orders under CFESSS is $25300,000,000.
Each pool under the IDIQ contract has its own multiple awards. The NAICS codes for each pool are as follows:
Pool A – Operations: 541513 – Computer Facilities Management Services
Pool B – Applications Development: 541511 – Custom Computer Programming Services
Pool C – Cyber Security: 541512 – Computer Systems Design Services
Pool D – PMO Support Services: 541611 – Administrative Management and General
Management Consulting Services
The scope of work under this IDIQ covers all DFC Information Technology (IT) operations. This includes all requirements IT products and services, except where 1) The
IT portion of the requirement cannot be feasibly separated from the non-IT portion of the requirement or 2) when the IT is incidental to contract performance. For purposes of level-setting understanding, IT is defined by Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
Memorandum 15-14, Management and Oversight of Federal Technology as:
“Any services or equipment, or interconnected system(s) or subsystem(s) of equipment, that are used in the automatic acquisition, storage, analysis, evaluation, manipulation, management, movement, control, display, switching, interchange, transmission, or reception of data or information by the agency;
where such services or equipment are 'used by an agency' if used by the agency directly or if used by a Contractor under a contract with the agency that requires either use of the services or equipment, or requires use of the services or equipment to a significant extent in the performance of a service or the furnishing of a product. If delivering IT products or services, the Contractor shall comply with government IT standards, such as those for IT security, and with requirements for sharing and efficiency at the federal, agency, bureau, and line office levels.”
The individual scope of each pool is defined in Section C
B.2 Period of Performance
The term of CFESSS is a five-year continuous ordering period, with the ability for orders to be placed with periods of performance of up to five years , throughout the ordering period of the IDIQ. This means that work resulting from this IDIQ may span up to a ten-year performance period. This is not a multi-year contract as defined in Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 17.103.
B.3 Contract Type
CFESSS is a multiple-award IDIQ that allows for task orders to be issued on a Fixed-
Price (FP), Time and Materials (T&M), and/or Labor Hours (LH) basis. Task orders may also combine more than one pricing arrangement (e.g FP/LH, etc.), although separate contract line-item numbers (CLINs) are required for each pricing arrangement. Orders may be funded via traditional SF1449 contract-orders, or through payment via a government purchase card. Pricing structure should be the same regardless of payment method.
B.4 Task Order Pricing
CFESSS provides the flexibility to determine fair and reasonable pricing tailored to the task order requirement dependent upon level of competition, risk, uncertainties, complexity, urgency, and contract type. The Task Award Contracting Office (TACO) has the authority and responsibility to determine price reasonableness for task order requirements, normally not to exceed the contracted ceiling rates.
Competition at the task order level is expected to establish fair and reasonable pricing for task orders placed for all contract types. For those relatively rare instances when competition does not exist, these ceiling rates will be available for the TACO to consider and use.
Exceptions where the TACO has the flexibility to exceed contracting ceiling rates including special security clearances (see www.state.gov/security-clearances) and other circumstances deemed “extraordinary” by the TACO.
Some task orders may require services that do not correspond to the labor categories included in CFESSS. Accordingly, if permitted by the task order solicitation, the
Contractor may propose appropriate labor categories and labor rates necessary to meet the requirements of the solicitation despite their not being included in CFESSS as awarded.
B.4.1 Fixed-Price Orders
FP orders are defined under FAR Subpart 16.2, Fixed Price Contracts, and other applicable agency-specific regulatory supplements.
B.4.2 Time-and-Materials and Labor Hours
T&M and LH orders are defined under FAR 16.601 and 16.602 respectively, and other applicable agency-specific regulatory supplements.
B.4.3 Other Direct Costs http://www.state.gov/security-clearances
Other Direct Costs (ODCs) established on a cost-reimbursement basis, including but not limited to travel costs, shall be pre-approved by the Contracting Officer Representative
(COR) at the task order level and be allowed on the task order only if approved as outlined in the task order.
B.4.4 Program and Project Management Costs
Program management support costs encompass support for management, reporting requirements, and related travel and meeting attendance costs associated with the
Contractor’s program management staff as it relates to the overall management of the
IDIQ contract. Program Management (IDIQ Contract-Level) Support Costs and Contract-level program management support costs shall not be proposed or billed as a direct charge to the CFESS IDIQ. These costs will be billed at the task order level.
Project Management (Task Order-Level) Support Costs: Contract-level program management support costs are differentiated from individual task order project management support costs. Task order project management support costs may be proposed and billed against individual task order for direct support of the effort performed under those task order.
B.5 Minimum and Maximum Contract Amounts
During the term of CFESSS, DFC will place orders totaling a minimum of $250. The total amount of orders under CFESS will not exceed $300,000,000.
