INFORMATION FOR ORDERING ACTIVITIES

Special Notice to Ordering Agencies: Small Business Participation LIST Innovative Solutions, Inc. provides commercial products and services to ordering activities.

LIST is committed to promoting participation of small, small disadvantaged, women owned, hub zone, veteran owned, and service disabled veteran owned small businesses in its contracts. We pledge to provide opportunities to the small business community through various methods including reselling opportunities, joint ventures, teaming arrangements, and subcontracting. We actively seek and partner with small businesses to promote and increase their participation in ordering activity contracts by purchasing from small businesses whenever practical.

SBA strongly supports the participation of small business concerns in the Federal Supply Schedules Program. To enhance Small Business Participation SBA policy allows agencies to include in their procurement base and goals, the dollar value of orders expected to be placed against the Federal Supply Schedules, and to report accomplishments against these goals.

For orders exceeding the micro-purchase threshold, FAR 8.404 requires agencies to consider the catalogs/pricelists of at least three schedule contractors or consider reasonably available information by using the GSA Advantage! on-line shopping service (www.fss.gsa.gov). The catalogs/pricelists, GSA Advantage! and the Federal Supply Service Home Page (www.fss.gsa.gov) contains information on a broad array of products and services offered by small business concerns.

This information should be used as a tool to assist ordering activities in meeting or exceeding established small business goals. It should also be used as a tool to assist in including small, small disadvantaged, and women-owned small businesses among those considered when selecting pricelists for a best value determination.

For orders exceeding the micro-purchase threshold, customers are to give preference to small business concerns when two or more items at the same delivered price will satisfy their requirement.

All applicable acquisition regulations pertaining to the purchase of the items not on the Federal Supply Schedule have been followed (e.g., publicizing (Part 5), competition requirements (Part 6), acquisition of commercial items (Part 12), contracting methods (Parts 13, 14, and 15), and small business programs (Part 19));

Such ordering activity support will be provided on a reimbursable basis, and will only be provided to the Contractor's technical personnel whose services are exclusively required for the fulfillment of the terms and conditions of this contract.

20) BLANKET PURCHASE AGREEMENTS (BPAs)

The use of BPAs under any schedule contract to fill repetitive needs for supplies or services is allowable. BPAs may be established with one or more schedule contractors.

Ordering activities shall follow FAR 8.405-3 when creating and implementing BPA(s).

21) CONTRACTOR TEAM ARRANGEMENTS

22) INSTALLATION, DEINSTALLATION, REINSTALLATION

The Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 276a-276a-7) provides that contracts in excess of $2,000 to which the United States or the District of Columbia is a party for construction, alteration, or repair

12 | P a g e

(including painting and decorating) of public buildings or public works with the United States, shall contain a clause that no laborer or mechanic employed directly upon the site of the work shall received less than the prevailing wage rates as determined by the Secretary of Labor. The requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act do not apply if the construction work is incidental to the furnishing of supplies, equipment, or services. For example, the requirements do not apply to simple installation or alteration of a public building or public work that is incidental to furnishing supplies or equipment under a supply contract. However, if the construction, alteration or repair is segregable and exceeds $2,000, then the requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act apply.

The ordering activity issuing the task order against this contract will be responsible for proper administration and enforcement of the Federal labor standards covered by the Davis-Bacon Act.

The proper Davis-Bacon wage determination will be issued by the ordering activity at the time a request for quotations is made for applicable construction classified installation, deinstallation, and reinstallation services under SIN 132-8.

23) SECTION 508 COMPLIANCE

If applicable, Section 508 compliance information on the supplies and services in this contract are available in Electronic and Information Technology (EIT) at the following company website:

25) INSURANCE—WORK ON A GOVERNMENT INSTALLATION (JAN 1997)(FAR

52.228-5)

ii. Until 30 days after the insurer or the Contractor gives written notice to the

Contracting Officer, whichever period is longer.

3324)

28) GSA IT SCHEDULE 70 SUMMARY

In accordance with the General Services Administration federal supply schedule contract General Purpose Commercial Information Technology Equipment, Software and Services (IT Schedule 70), Solicitation Number: FCIS-JB-980001-B, LIST Innovative Solutions, Inc. provides a broad spectrum of products and services focused on improving the performance of federal agencies and other organizations.

The IT Schedule 70 contract is an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity multiple award schedule contract that provides for task orders to be placed using the labor categories and ceiling rates defined in the contract.

Under the federal supply schedule program, GSA enters into contracts with commercial firms to provide supplies and services at stated prices for given periods of time. Orders are placed directly with the schedule contractor, and deliveries are made directly to the customer. The federal supply schedule program mirrors commercial buying practices more than any other procurement process in the federal government. It provides customers with literally millions of state-of-the-art, high-

14 | P a g e quality commercial products and services at volume discount pricing on a direct delivery basis.

The federal supply schedule program also offers the benefits of shorter lead times, lower administrative costs, and reduced inventories.

Multiple award schedule contracts are awarded to contractors supplying comparable commercial supplies and services at government-negotiated, pre-approved prices. They provide federal agencies with the variety and flexibility necessary to select the best-valued professional services to meet their requirements. Consistent with the Competition in Contracting Act, multiple award schedule contracts are competitive in that participation in the program is open to all responsible sources, and orders placed following the procedures in Federal Acquisition Regulation 8.4 result in the lowest overall cost alternative. Therefore, when placing orders under federal supply schedules, ordering offices do not need to: 1) seek further competition, 2) synopsize the requirement, 3) make a separate determination of fair and reasonable pricing, or 4) consider small business programs. GSA already has determined the prices of items under GSA schedule contracts to be fair and reasonable.

29) CONTRACT CLAUSES

GSA multiple award schedule contracts are awarded in accordance with provisions of Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 12 Acquisition of Commercial Items. To the extent possible, GSA multiple award schedule contracts include only those clauses required, either to implement provisions of law or executive order applicable to acquisition of commercial items or determined to be consistent with customary commercial practice.

Ordering agencies may incorporate provisions in their task orders that are essential to their specific requirements (i.e., danger, hardship, security, hazardous material handling, key personnel) provided they do not conflict with the terms and conditions of the contract. These provisions, when required, must be included in the individual task order, and any costs necessary to comply with the provisions will be included in the task order proposal price estimate, unless otherwise prohibited by law.
