The Environmental Navigators ® AARCHER, INC.

G S A C o n t r a c t i n g Acquiring environmental services through the MAS Multiple Award Schedule (Formerly PSS 00CORP) is simplified because the primary contract is already in place. Agency personnel should coordinate with their

Contract Administrator, who will ensure that all internal procedures and policies are met. Additional ordering information is available in the “Basic Scheduling Ordering Guidelines” section of the GSA Schedules e-Library website (gsaelibrary.gsa.gov)

Here are the general steps to ordering under this professional services schedule:

1. Discuss your needs with the Aarcher senior representative (Craig Schwartz

410-897-9100; cschwartz@aarcherinc.com), who can recommend information to be included in the Scope of Services or provide sample Scopes of Service used by other agencies.

2. Develop a Scope of Services that includes:

• Location and a description of the work to be performed

• Period of performance, deliverables, and delivery schedule

• Any applicable standards, acceptance criteria, and special requirements

• Required expertise, labor categories, and projected hours (if appropriate)

• Delivery location and points of contact

• Obtain approval and a funding source from your contracting office.

3. Contact your contracting Officer to discuss the use of GSA Environmental

Services Schedule (MAS) and solicitations and selection procedures.

4. After appropriate selection, return a GSA-approved purchase order

(such as DD Form 1155) and the SOW to your Aarcher point of contact.

Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs)

According to GSA, “BPAs simplify the filling of recurring needs for supplies or services, while leveraging a customer's buying power by taking advantage of quantity discounts, saving administrative time, and reducing paperwork.”

BPAs are often practical for filling repetitive needs for supplies or services and may be established with one or more schedule contractors.

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.

Aarcher operates under several GSA PSS MAS BPAs and is prepared to work with you to help make this contracting mechanism effective and practical.
