OLMs are not defined, priced, or awarded at the FSS contract level. They are unknown before a task or delivery order is placed against the FSS contract or FSS BPA. OLMs are only authorized for inclusion at the order level under a Time-and-

Materials (T&M) or Labor-Hour (LH) Contract Line-Item Number (CLIN) and are subject to a Not to Exceed (NTE) ceiling price. OLMs include direct materials, subcontracts for supplies and incidental services for which there is not a labor category specified in the FSS contract, other direct costs, and indirect costs. OLMs are purchased under the authority of the FSS Program and are not "open market items."

Items awarded under ancillary supplies/services or other direct cost (ODC) SINs are not OLMs.

These items are defined, priced, and awarded at the FSS contract level, whereas OLMs are unknown before an order is placed.

The Order-Level Materials SIN is only authorized for use in direct support of another awarded

SIN. Price analysis for OLMs is not conducted when awarding the FSS contract or FSS BPA;

Materials SIN must be inclusive of the Industrial Funding Fee (IFF). The cumulative value of

OLMs in an individual task or delivery order cannot exceed 33.33% of the total value of the order.

Advantages of Using a GSA Schedule Contract Do you need a quick, convenient, and cost-effective way to order services from Cogent? Our GSA

Multiple Award Schedule contract provides an excellent solution. It offers the following advantages:

▪ Dramatic time savings. You can typically complete the task order initiation process (as specified in FAR 8.405) very quickly—often in a matter of weeks.

▪ Minimal administrative burden. When you place an order with Cogent through our GSA

Contract, the order will be considered to have been placed using “full and open competition.”

- You are not required to synopsize the requirement ahead of time in FedBizOpps.

- GSA has already determined that prices offered by GSA contractors are “fair and reasonable.”

- All applicable federal procurement laws and regulations, including “small business” set-asides and other types of set-asides, already have been applied.

▪ No dollar limits on task orders.

▪ Small Business credit. Your agency will receive Small Business credit for all Task Orders issued to Cogent.

▪ Flexibility. For example, you can set up a “Blanket Purchase Agreement” (BPA) with Cogent, if you do not know the precise amount or types of services that you would like to purchase. You can use the BPA as an ordering device in which all your offices can participate, allowing them to place orders directly with Cogent.

▪ Direct relationship with Cogent.

- GSA will not get involved in your selection process.

- Your agency will not have to transfer funds to GSA and will not have to set up an interagency agreement.

- Cogent will deliver services and submit invoices directly to your agency. You will remit payment directly to Cogent. GSA does not inject itself into the client/contractor relationship.
