Services specified in a task order may be performed at the contractor’s facilities or the ordering agencies’ facilities. The government will determine the contractor’s compensation by any of several different methods (to be specified at the task order level) e.g., a firm-fixed price for services with or without incentives, labor hours or time-and-material.

GS-10F-0466P Page 5

SIN 541611 / 541611 RC: MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL CONSULTING, ACQUISITION AND

GRANTS MANAGEMENT SUPPORT, AND BUSINESS PROGRAM AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT

SERVICES

Provide operating advice and assistance on administrative and management issues. Examples include: strategic and organizational planning, business process improvement, acquisition and grants management support, facilitation, surveys, assessment and improvement of financial management systems, financial reporting and analysis, due diligence in validating an agency’s portfolio of assets and related support services, strategic financial planning, financial policy formulation and development, special cost studies, actuarial services, economic and regulatory analysis, benchmarking and program metrics, and business program and project management.

Inherently Governmental services as identified in FAR 7.503 or by the ordering agency are prohibited. It is the responsibility of the Contracting Officer placing the order to make this determination. Ordering activities must require prospective contractors to identify potential conflicts of interest and address those, prior to task order award.

Personal services as defined in FAR 37.104 are prohibited.

Much of Creative Associates’ work involves project consulting. Creative staff can provide expertise for evaluating education and civil society revitalization programs, assessing needs and designing new programs to address them, collecting and analyzing data, compiling sector studies, and arranging workshops, concept papers, and competitive grants programs. We have served as consultants on projects related to basic education (both formal and informal), school health programs, child labor and child soldier reintegration, prevention of trafficking, justice and reconciliation, administrative transparency and anti-corruption, rule of law, advancement of women, civil society strengthening, and community mobilization. Because our programs often require us to field an array of short and long-term consultants, we maintain an online consultant database of qualified professionals that we draw on for home office and field staffing needs.

Creative Associates has done extensive consulting work on many of its projects. As part of the USAID-funded RISE project, undertaken to rebuild the Iraqi school system, Creative conducted a nationwide inventory of Iraqi secondary school needs and used the assessment to distribute learning materials. We collected data on out-of-school children in order to identify the causes of under-enrollment and absenteeism, and then design an accelerated learning program that serves children whom the school system bypassed. We also conducted a survey of teaching and administrative staff training needs in order to organize appropriate training programs.

In Zambia, Creative conducted testing of students who received nutritional pills as part of a project to incorporate health and nutrition in education curriculum. The biomedical data and cognitive scores were used to identify the link between healthier students and enhanced ability to learn. Creative has worked with the Zambian Ministry of Education in order to promote school health and nutrition at the national level. We have also provided consulting services to the Beninese Ministry of Education, advising government officials about HIV/AIDS programs, school decentralization, and budget design.

As part of USAID’s Education to Combat Abusive Child Labor (ECACL) Program (part of the Basic Education and Policy Support Activity), Creative Associates conducted planning analyses to identify the factors contributing to abusive child labor in Bulgaria, Romania, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Honduras, and Nepal. The assessments provided information used to develop pilot projects that offer educational opportunities to working children.

Creative Associates has managed large and complex projects in the technical areas of education and post-conflict reconstruction in over 20 countries. These projects have ranged in value from $100,000 to $63 million / year.

Creative works to conceptualize the project with the client; staff the project with expatriate and local hires; set up offices and bank accounts in a rapid, efficient fashion; establish human resource, security, IT, financial management, and office administration systems to meet U.S. government and local requirements; implement the

GS-10F-0466P Page 6 project according to client specifications of timely progress and expected results; provide technical assistance and administer large and small grants; compile frequent program reviews and financial reports; and conduct regular quality control evaluations to ensure continuous improvement. Our projects have succeeded in improving education, enhancing infrastructure and economic opportunity, and fostering post-conflict reconciliation in some of the most disadvantaged regions of the globe.

Our reputation as a manager of complex, sensitive projects in dangerous regions is demonstrated by USAID’s recent choice of Creative as a partnering organization on two highly significant education projects: the RISE project to rebuild the Iraqi education system and its follow-on Education II activity, and the Afghanistan Primary Education Program (APEP) to rehabilitate primary education in Afghanistan. Both projects involve management and coordination at the local, district, and national levels. In Iraq, Creative has taken the lead role in advising the Ministry of Education, and we have organized grant programs to help refurbish Iraqi school buildings. In Afghanistan, we printed and distributed over 10 million textbooks for the start of the school year, organized radio-based teacher training for remote provinces, and provided accelerated learning to thousands of overage children, especially girls. These two contracts cap a successful history of management in the areas of education and post-conflict revitalization, in countries as wide-ranging as Morocco, Benin, Zambia, and Guatemala. Through the Moroccan Education for Girls (MEG) project, Creative works in 32 schools in eight provinces to promote education reform, improve the quality of instruction, and raise the enrollment and retention of girls. In Benin, we manage a project designed to improve teacher quality and promote equity by increasing girls’ enrollment. In Zambia, Creative works with the Zambian government to place schools at the forefront of the battle against HIV/AIDS by promoting health education, encouraging community sensitization, and implementing grants to civil society organizations assisting vulnerable children. And in Guatemala, Creative managed a grants administration program that supported effective citizen participation in political decision-making.

GS-10F-0466P Page 7

SIN OLM / RC / STLOC: ORDER-LEVEL MATERIALS (OLM)

Order-Level Materials (OLMs) are supplies and/or services acquired in direct support of an individual task or delivery order placed against a Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contract or FSS blanket purchase agreement (BPA). 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 (separate from those under ODC SINs), 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.

Ancillary supplies/services and ODC SINs are for use under all order type CLINs (Fixed-Price (FP), T&M, and LH), whereas the Order-Level Materials SIN is only authorized for use under T&M and LH order CLINs.

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; therefore, GSAR 538.270 and 538.271 do not apply to OLMs. OLMs are defined and priced at the ordering activity level in accordance with GSAR clause 552.238-82 Special Ordering Procedures for the Acquisition of Order-Level Materials. Prices for items provided under the Order-Level Materials SIN must be inclusive of the Industrial Funding Fee (IFF). The value of OLMs in a task or delivery order, or the cumulative value of OLMs in orders against an FSS BPA awarded under an FSS contract, cannot exceed 33.33%.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLACING ORDERS FOR SERVICES BASED ON

GSA SCHEDULE HOURLY RATES

GSA provides a streamlined, efficient process for ordering the services you need. GSA has already determined that Creative Associates International, Inc. meets the technical requirements and that our prices offered are fair and reasonable. Agencies may use written orders; facsimile orders, credit card orders, blanket purchase agreement orders or individual purchase orders under this contract.

If it is determined that your agency needs an outside source to provide MAS services, follow these simple steps:

Orders under the Micro-Purchase Threshold

• Select the contractor best suited for your needs and place the order.

Orders in-between the Micro-Purchase Threshold and the Simplified Acquisition Threshold

• Prepare a SOW or Performance Work Statement (PWS) in accordance with FAR 8.405-2(b).

• Prepare and send the RFQ (including SOW and evaluation criteria) to at least three GSA Schedule contractors.

• Evaluate, then make a "Best Value" determination.

Note: The ordering activity should request GSA Schedule contractors to submit firm-fixed prices to perform the services identified in the SOW.

Orders over the Simplified Acquisition Threshold

• Prepare the RFQ (including the SOW and evaluation criteria) and post on eBuy to afford all Schedule contractors the opportunity to respond, or provide the RFQ to as many Schedule contractors as practicable, consistent with market research, to reasonably ensure that quotes are received from at least three contractors.

• Seek price reductions.

• Evaluate all responses and place the order, or establish the BPA with the GSA Schedule contractor that represents the best value (refer to FAR 8.405-2(d)).

Note: The ordering activity should request GSA Schedule contractors to submit firm-fixed prices to perform the services identified in the SOW.

Developing a Statement of Work (SOW) or

Performance Work Statement (PWS) Preparing a Request for Quote (RFQ)

In the SOW, include the following information:

• Work to be performed,

• Location of work,

GS-10F-0466P Page 9

BLANKET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Ordering activities may establish BPAs under any schedule contract to fill repetitive needs for supplies or services. BPAs may be established with one or more schedule contractors. The number of BPAs to be established is within the discretion of the ordering activity establishing the BPAs and should be based on a strategy that is expected to maximize the effectiveness of the BPA(s). In determining how many BPAs to establish, consider:

• The scope and complexity of the requirement(s);

• The need to periodically compare multiple technical approaches or prices;

• The administrative costs of BPAs; and

• The technical qualifications of the schedule contractor(s).

Establishment of a single BPA, or multiple BPAs, shall be made using the same procedures outlined in 8.405-1 or 8.405-2. BPAs shall address the frequency of ordering, invoicing, discounts, requirements (e.g. estimated quantities, work to be performed), delivery locations, and time.

When establishing multiple BPAs, the ordering activity shall specify the procedures for placing orders under the BPAs.

Establishment of a multi-agency BPA against a Federal Supply Schedule contract is permitted if the multi-agency BPA identifies the participating agencies and their estimated requirements at the time the BPA is established.

Ordering from BPAs:

Single BPA. If the ordering activity establishes one BPA, authorized users may place the order directly under the established BPA when the need for the supply or service arises.

Multiple BPAs. If the ordering activity establishes multiple BPAs, before placing an order exceeding the micro-purchase threshold, the ordering activity shall:

• Forward the requirement, or statement of work and the evaluation criteria, to an appropriate number of BPA holders, as established in the BPA ordering procedures; and

• Evaluate the responses received, make a best value determination (see 8.404(d)), and place the order with the BPA holder that represents the best value.

BPAs for hourly rate services. If the BPA is for hourly rate services, the ordering activity shall develop a statement of work for requirements covered by the BPA. All orders under the BPA shall specify a price for the performance of the tasks identified in the statement of work.

Duration of BPAs. 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.

Review of BPAs:

The ordering activity that established the BPA shall review it at least once a year to determine whether:

• The schedule contract, upon which the BPA was established, is still in effect;

• The BPA still represents the best value (see 8.404(d)); and

• Estimated quantities/amounts have been exceeded and additional price reductions can be obtained.

The ordering activity shall document the results of its review.
