2.0 ORDERING PROCEDURES

a. Procedures for PES Priced on GSA Schedule at Hourly Rates

(1) GSA has determined that the rates for PES contained in this price list 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.

(2) When ordering PES, ordering offices shall –

(i) Prepare a Request for Proposal (RFP).

(A) Prepare a performance-based State-ment of Work (SOW) that outlines, at a minimum, the work to be performed, location of work, period of performance, deliverable schedule, applicable stan-dards, acceptance criteria, and any special requirements (security clearances, travel, special knowledge, etc.).

(B) Prepare an RFP that includes the performance-based SOW and requests URS Federal Technical Services to submit either a firm fixed price or a ceiling price to provide the services outlined in the

SOW. 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 costs 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 hourly 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 SOW. 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 Regulations or JTR. A ceiling price must be established for labor-hour and time-and-materials orders.

(C) The RFP may request URS Federal Technical Services, if necessary or appropriate, to submit a project plan for performing the task and information on URS Federal Technical Services experi-ence and/or past performance performing similar tasks.

(D) The RFP shall notify URS Federal Technical Services of the basis to be used for selecting the Schedule Contractor to receive the order. The notice shall include the basis for determining whether URS Federal Technical Services is technically qualified and provides an explanation regarding the intended use of any experience and/or past performance information in determining technical acceptability of responses. If consideration will be limited to Schedule contractors who are small business concerns, the RFP shall notify URS Federal Technical Services that this will be the case.

(ii) Transmit the RFP to Contractors

(A) Based on an initial evaluation of catalogs and pricelists, the ordering office should notify URS Federal Technical Services that it appears to offer the best value (considering the scope of services offered, hourly rates and other factors such as contractor locations, as appropriate).

(B) The RFP should be to three contractors if the proposed order is estimated to exceed the micro-purchase threshold, but not to exceed the maximum order threshold. For proposed orders exceed-ing the maximum order threshold, the RFP should be provided to additional contractors who offer services that will meet the agency’s needs. Ordering offices should strive to minimize URS Federal Technical Services’ costs associated with responding to RFPs for specific orders. Requests should be tailored to the

GSA Schedule Contract: GS–23F-0108J 7 minimum level necessary for adequate evaluation and selection for order placement.

(iii) After responses have been evaluated against the factors identified in the RFP, the order should be placed with the Schedule Contractor who represents the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative (considering price, special qualifications, administrative costs, etc.) to meet the Government’s needs.

(iv) Agencies may use written orders, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) orders, Blanket Pur-chase Agreements (BPAs), individual purchase orders, or task orders for ordering services under this contract.

(v) 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.

(3) Establishment of Federal Supply Schedule BPAs for recurring services is permitted (FAR 8.404) 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 –

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

(A) 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 who represents the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative to meet the agency's needs should be awarded the BPA.

(B) 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 procedure in (2)(ii)(B) above, and then place the order with the Schedule Contractor who represents the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative to meet the agency’s needs.

(ii) 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 (considering price, special qualifications, etc.) and results in the lowest overall cost alternative to meet the agency’s needs.

(iii) BPAs shall not extend beyond the end of the contract period; all services and deliveries shall be made and the contract terms and conditions shall continue in effect until the completion of the order.

Orders for tasks that extend beyond the fiscal year for which funds are available shall include Federal Acquisition Regulation (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.

(4) 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.

(5) When the ordering office’s requirement involves both products as well as PES, the ordering office should total the prices for the products and the firm fixed price for the services and select the Schedule Contractor that represents the greatest value in terms of meeting the agency’s total needs.

(6) The ordering office, at a minimum, should document orders by identifying URS Federal Technical Services as the source the services were purchased from, 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’ proposals that formed the basis for selecting the Schedule Contractor that received the order and the rationale for any trade-offs made in making the selection.

b. Ordering Procedures for Other Services Available on Schedule at Fixed Prices for Specifically Defined Services or Tasks

Orders placed pursuant to a Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), using the procedures in FAR 8.404, are considered to be issued pursuant to full and open competition. Therefore, when placing orders under Federal Supply Schedules, ordering offices need not seek further competition, synopsize the requirement, make a separate determination of fair and reasonable pricing, or consider small business set-asides in accordance with Subpart 19.5. GSA has already determined the prices of items under Schedule contracts to be fair and reasonable. By placing an order against a

GSA Schedule Contract: GS–23F-0108J 8

Schedule using the procedures outlined below, the ordering office has concluded that the order represents the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative (considering price, special features, admini-strative costs, etc.) to meet the Government’s needs.

(1) Orders placed at or below the micro-purchase threshold. Ordering offices can place orders at or below the micro-purchase threshold with any Federal Supply Schedule Contractor.

(2) Orders exceeding the micro-purchase threshold but not exceeding the maximum order threshold. Orders should be placed with the Schedule Contractor that can provide the supply or service that represents the best value. Before placing an order, ordering offices should consider reasonably available information about the service offered under MAS contracts by using the “GSA Advantage!” online shopping service, or by reviewing the catalogs/pricelists of at least three Schedule Contractors and selecting the delivery and other options available under the Schedule that meets the agency’s needs. In selecting the service representing the best value, the ordering office may consider: (i) special features of the service that are required in effective program performance and that are not provided by a comparable service; and (ii) past performance.

(3) Orders exceeding the maximum order threshold.

Each Schedule contract has an established maximum order threshold. This threshold represents the point where it is advantageous for the ordering office to seek a price reduction. In addition to following the procedures in paragraph b, above, and before placing an order that exceeds the maximum order threshold, ordering offices shall-

(i) Review additional Schedule Contractors’ catalogs/price lists or use the “GSA Advantage!” online shopping service.

(ii) Based upon the initial evaluation, generally seek price reductions from the Schedule Contractor(s) appearing to provide the best value (considering price and other factors).

(iii) After price reductions have been sought, place the order with the Schedule Contractor that provides the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative. If further price reductions are not offered, an order may still be placed, if the ordering office determines that it is appropriate.

NOTE: For orders exceeding the maximum order threshold, URS Federal Technical Services may

(A) offer a new lower price for this requirement (the Price Reductions clause is not applicable to orders placed over the maximum order in FAR 52.216-19 Order Limitations);

(B) offer the lowest price available under the contract; or

(C) decline the order (orders must be returned in accordance with FAR 52.216-19).

(4) Price reductions. In addition to the circum-stances outlined in paragraph (3) above, there may be instances when ordering offices will find it advantageous to request a price reduction. For example, when the ordering office finds a Schedule service elsewhere at a lower price or when a BPA is being established to fill recurring requirements, requesting a price reduction could be advantageous. The potential volume of orders under these agreements, regardless of the size of the individual order, may offer the ordering office the opportunity to secure greater discounts.

Schedule Contractors are not required to pass on to all schedule users a price reduction extended only to an individual agency for a specific order.

(5) Small business. For orders exceeding the micro-purchase threshold, ordering offices should give preference to the items of small business concerns when two or more items at the same delivered price will satisfy the requirement.

(6) Documentation. Orders should be documented, at a minimum, by identifying URS Federal Technical Services as the source the item was purchased from, the item purchased, and the amount paid. If an agency requirement in excess of the micro-purchase threshold is defined so as to require a particular brand name, product, or feature of a product peculiar to one manufacturer, thereby precluding consideration of a product manufactured by another company, the ordering office shall include an explanation in the file as to why the particular brand name, product, or feature is essential to satisfy the agency’s needs.

(c) Purchase of Incidental, Nonschedule Items
