In addition, for every five contract employees who are rejected by the Government for nonperformance, the Government will deduct ½ percent from yearly payment totals. Disagreements as to the evaluation process will be handled by the Contracting Officer. The Government will consider the number of deductions in its decision to extend services beyond the contract base year.

(j) Ordering.

(1) Procedure. All requests for temporary help services under this contract shall be coordinated with the Contracting Officer’s Representative by submitting a Job Order Form (see Attachments) for review. The Job Order Form must include an estimate of number of hours multiplied by the hourly bill rate with a total. Upon review by the COR and approval from Human Resources, the requesting unit will submit an Integrated Acquisition System (IAS) Requisition.

Warranted Contracting Officers of the Western Montana Acquisition Zone may order services within their warrant levels and are authorized to place task orders by telephone, e-mail, FAX, in person, or by mail. If the original amount of the order will be exceeded, a modification to the task order within IAS will be required prior to any additional work being performed.

(2) Limitations.

(i) Conditions for Government Use. Services under this schedule may be used when one of the following short-term situations exists:

(A) An employee is absent for a temporary period because of a personal need including emergency, accident, illness, parental or family responsibilities, or mandatory jury service.

(B) An agency must carry out work for a temporary period which cannot be delayed in the judgement of the agency because of a critical need.

(ii) Exclusions. These services shall not be used:

(A) In lieu of the regular recruitment and hiring procedures under the civil service laws for permanent appointment in the competitive civil service; or

(B) To displace a Federal employee.

(C) To circumvent controls on employment levels.

(D) In lieu of appointing a surplus or displaced Federal employee as required by 5 CFR part 330, subpart F.

(iii) Time Limitations. An agency may use a temporary help services firm in a single situation, as defined in 5 CFR part 300.503, initially for no more than 120 workdays. Provided the situation continues to exist beyond the initial 120 workdays, the agency may extend its use of temporary help services up to the maximum limit of 240 workdays.

An individual employee of any temporary help firm may work at a major organizational element (headquarters or field) of an agency for up to 120 workdays (960 hours) in a 24-month period. The 24-month period begins on the first day of assignment. An agency may make an exception for an individual to work up to a maximum of 240 workdays only when the agency has determined that using the services of the same individual for the same situation will prevent significant delay.

(iv) Avoiding Personal Services. Agencies must be careful to avoid entering into a personal services relationship with contract workers. Care must be taken to provide only technical, task-related instructions sufficient to allow the workers to perform their services under the contract, to ensure that no appearance of an employer/employee relationship exists as discussed in FAR Part 37.112.

(v) Inherently Governmental Functions. Discretion must be used to ensure contract workers do not perform duties which are inherently governmental in nature. Guidance in this area can be found in the OFPP Policy Letter 92-1, 9/23/92 found in Appendix 5 to OMB Circular A-76.

(vi) Task Orders. If a task order crosses the period when an option year is exercised, the terms and conditions, including the rate of the contract at the time the task order was issued, are applicable.
