ORDERING GUIDE FOR OUR CUSTOMERS

A SUMMARY OF HOW TO USE GSA SCHEDULES

This GSA Language Services Schedule can be easily utilized to gain access to contractors for required services. Task Orders may be put in place quickly and efficiently by the Ordering Agency Contracting Officer. This summary reflects the ordering procedures provided in the following section.

♦ Step 1: Identify the Requirement: The Technical or Project Officer identifies a requirement and prepares a Statement of Work (SOW). This is sent to the contracting office that the agency will use.

This contracting office can be within its own agency, an outside agency, or a GSA Regional contracting office.

♦ Step 2a: Placing Small Task Orders of $3000 or Less: A Task Order may be placed directly with the GSA Schedule holder chosen to perform the effort, by the Ordering Agency.

OR

♦ Step 2b: Large Task Orders Over $3000: The Technical or Project Officer prepares a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the contracting office. This RFQ can use a simplified format for a contractor to respond to items such as experience, project schedule, cost, staffing, technical and/or logistics support requirements. Often the RFQ is tailored to minimize the effort expended by the contractors.

The RFQ should be sent to three approved GSA AIMS schedule holders offering the required services.

♦ Step 3: Contractors Submit Proposals: Proposals may include cost, schedule, staffing, logistics concerns and technical requirements requested by the Ordering Agency to provide the requirements of the GSA Special Item Numbers (SIN) being requested under the Schedule. Oral presentations are encouraged by GSA. Resumes are usually only provided upon specific request of the Ordering Agency.

♦ Step 4: Evaluate Proposals and Select a Contractor(s): The Technical or Project Officer and the Contracting Officer evaluate the responses received and make contractor selection(s) based upon the best value. At times, the Ordering Agency may select multiple contractors or possibly a teaming arrangement of contractors. The Ordering Agency may even select several contractors to provide certain portions of the project using different GSA schedules.

♦ Step 5: Placing a Task Order with the Contractor(s): Once the Ordering Agency has selected its best value contractor(s), a Task Order may be issued to them immediately.
