1. ORDERING PROCEDURES FOR SERVICES

(REQUIRING A STATEMENT OF WORK)

FAR 8.402 contemplates that GSA may occasionally find it necessary to establish special ordering procedures for individual Federal Supply Schedules or for some Special Item Numbers (SINs) within a Schedule. GSA has established special ordering procedures for services that require a Statement of Work. These special ordering procedures take precedence over the procedures in FAR 8.404 (b)(2) through (b)(3). GSA has determined that the prices for services contained in the contractor’s price list applicable to this Schedule are fair and reasonable.

However, the ordering office using this contract is responsible for considering the level of effort and mix of labor proposed to perform a specific task being ordered and for making a determination that the total firm-fixed price or ceiling price is fair and reasonable.

(a) When ordering services, ordering offices shall—

1. Prepare a Request (Request for Quote or other communication tool):

(i) A statement of work (a performance-based statement of work is preferred) that outlines, at a minimum, the work to be performed, location of work, period of performance, deliverable schedule, applicable standards, acceptance criteria, and any special requirements (i.e., security clearances, travel, special knowledge, etc.) should be prepared.

(ii) The request should include the statement of work and request the contractors to submit either a firm-fixed price or a ceiling price to provide the services outlined in the statement of work. A firm-fixed price order shall be requested, unless the ordering office makes a determination that it is not possible at the time of placing the order to estimate accurately the extent or duration of the work or to anticipate cost with any reasonable degree of confidence. When such a determination is made, a labor hour or time-and-materials proposal may be requested.

The firm-fixed price shall be based on the rates in the schedule contract and shall consider the mix of labor categories and level of effort required to perform the services described in the statement of work. The firm-fixed price of the order should also include any travel costs or other incidental costs related to performance of the services ordered, unless the order provides for reimbursement of travel costs at the rates provided in the Federal Travel or Joint Travel Regulations. A ceiling price must be established for labor-hour and time-and-materials orders.

(iii) The request may ask the contractors, if necessary or appropriate, to submit a project plan for performing the task, and information on the contractor’s experience and/or past performance performing similar tasks.

(iv) The request shall notify the contractors what basis will be used for selecting the contractor to receive the order. The notice shall include the basis for determining whether the contractors are technically qualified and provide an explanation regarding the intended use of any experience and/or past performance information in determining technical qualification of responses. If consideration will be limited to schedule contractors who are small business concerns as permitted by paragraph (2)(i) below, the request shall notify the contractors that will be the case.

2. Transmit the Request to Contractors:

(i) Based upon an initial evaluation of catalogs and price lists, the ordering office should identify the contractors that appear to offer the best value (as appropriate).

(ii) The request should be provided to three (3) contractors if the proposed order is estimated to exceed the micro-purchase threshold, but not exceed the maximum order threshold. For proposed orders exceeding the maximum order threshold, the request should be provided to additional contractors that offer services that will meet the agency’s needs. Ordering offices should strive to minimize the contractors’ costs associated with responding to requests for quotes for specific orders. Requests should be tailored to the minimum level necessary for adequate evaluation and selection for order placement. Oral presentations should be considered, when possible.

3. Evaluate Responses and Select the Contractor to Receive the Order:

After responses have been evaluated against the factors identified in the request, the order should be placed with the schedule contractor

6 S L I C E | W O R K S D U N S 1 2 0 8 3 9 3 8 6 that represents the best value. (See FAR 8.404)

(b) The establishment of Federal Supply Schedule Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) for recurring services is permitted when the procedures outlined herein are followed. All BPAs for services must define the services that may be ordered under the BPA, along with delivery or performance time frames, billing procedures, etc. The potential volume of orders under BPAs, regardless of the size of individual orders, may offer the ordering office the opportunity to secure volume discounts.

When establishing BPAs, ordering offices shall—

(1) Inform contractors in the request (based on the agency’s requirement) if a single BPA or multiple BPAs will be established, and indicate the basis that will be used for selecting the contractors to be awarded the BPAs.

(i) SINGLE BPA: Generally, a single BPA should be established when the ordering office can define the tasks to be ordered under the BPA and establish a firm-fixed price or ceiling price for individual tasks or services to be ordered.

When this occurs, authorized users may place the order directly under the established BPA when the need for service arises. The schedule contractor that represents the best value should be awarded the BPA. (See FAR 8.404)

(ii) MULTIPLE BPAs: When the ordering office determines multiple BPAs are needed to meet its requirements, the ordering office should determine which contractors can meet any technical qualifications before establishing the BPAs. When multiple BPAs are established, the authorized users must follow the procedures in (a)(2)(ii) above and then place the order with the Schedule contractor that represents the best value.

(2) Review BPAs Periodically: Such reviews shall be conducted at least annually. The purpose of the review is to determine whether the BPA still represents the best value. (See FAR 8.404)

(c) The ordering office should give preference to small business concerns when two or more contractors can provide the services at the same firm-fixed price or ceiling price.

(d) When the ordering office’s requirement involves both products as well as executive, administrative and/or professional, services, the ordering office should total the prices for the products and the firm-fixed price for the services and select the contractor that represents the best value. (See FAR 8.404)

The ordering office, at a minimum, should document orders by identifying the contractor from which the services were purchased, the services purchased, and the amount paid. If other than a firm-fixed price order is placed, such documentation should include the basis for the determination to use a labor-hour or time-and-materials order. For agency requirements in excess of the micro-purchase threshold, the order file should document the evaluation of Schedule contractors’ quotes that formed the basis for the selection of the contractor that received the order and the rationale for any trade-offs made in making the selection.

2. ORDER

a. Agencies may use written orders, telephone orders, EDI orders, blanket purchase agreements, individual purchase orders, or task orders for ordering services under this contract. Blanket Purchase Agreements shall not extend beyond the end of the contract period; all services and delivery shall be made and the contract terms and conditions shall continue in effect until the completion of the order.

Orders for tasks which extend beyond the fiscal year for which funds are available shall include FAR 52.232-19 Availability of Funds for the Next Fiscal Year. The purchase order shall specify the availability of funds and the period for which funds are available.

b. All task orders are subject to the terms and conditions of the contract. In the event of conflict between a task order and the contract, the contract will take precedence.

NUREG/BR-0472. Rev 1

Be part of the

BigPicture.

The National Source Tracking System (NSTS), a major security initiative of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), is a secure, user-friendly, web-based database that tracks NRC and Agreement State-regulated Category 1 and 2 radioactive sources. The NSTS tracks these high-risk, radioactive sources from the time of their disposal or export, or until they decay enough to no longer be of concern. The NSTS meets the U.S. Government’s commitment to implement a national source registry as described in the 2004 International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Code of Conduct on the Safety and Security of Radioactive Sources and later mandated in the Energy Policy Act of 2005.

Approximately 1,400 licensees possessing over 70,000 Category 1 and 2 sources began reporting source information in January 2009.

The NSTS is a crucial part of the Integrated Source Management Portfolio (ISMP), intended to improve the security and control of radioactive material.

ISMP also includes the Web-Based Licensing (WBL) System and the License Verification System (LVS).

Safe. Easy. Fast. In three steps.

Source Reporting Once an NSTS user completes the credentialing process, all source transactions may be completed by logging into the NSTS online system.

The NRC strongly encourages online, which provides timely and accurate tracking. Visit the NSTS Web site to access online reporting training materials.

Annual Reconciliation The NRC requires all licensees to review and confirm their inventory annually conduct inventory reconciliation each January.

A specially formatted inventory report has been created to confirm inventory and ensure that all records in the NSTS are correct.

Credentialing The easiest way to report to the NSTS is online. You will first need to enroll for a digital certificate, an electronic identification which allows the NSTS to uniquely identify each user. The process of obtaining the digital certificate is called credentialing.

The credentialing process takes approximately 30 days from start to finish. See the three steps you need to complete above.

Licensees possessing Category 1 or 2 sources may begin the credentialing process online.

Enrollment is easy and should take no more than 10 minutes. All NSTS users with digital certificates issued prior to July 2009 must renew their certificates one year from the issued date to maintain access to the NSTS. Once an NSTS user renews the certificate, it is valid for the 2 years.
