INFORMATION

INFORMATION FOR ORDERING

SPECIAL NOTICE TO AGENCIES:

Small Business Participation

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 micropurchase 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) contain 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 micropurchase threshold, customers are to give preference to small business concerns when two or more items at the same delivered price will satisfy their requirement.

Standard Daily Labor Rates for each personnel category are based on the standard daily rates for the Sapient Washington, D.C. office. These rates are established according to market reviews of consulting rates in the Washington, D.C. area. These rates reflect the standard lowest rates offered to our commercial and Government clients for work based in our Washington, D.C.

office or delivered from Sapient s North American offices. The Standard Daily Labor Rates for Global Distributed Delivery Consulting and Long-Term Support services are also included. These standard daily labor rates are based on the standard daily rates used by Sapient to provide global delivery services from its New Delhi, India office. These rates reflect the standard lowest rates offered to our commercial and Government clients for work based upon Sapient s Global Distributed Delivery model.

In determining the discount practices offered to the Federal Government, Sapient refers to what is called the total solution set. A solution represents an end-to end engagement comprised of multiple projects or phases .

The discounts applied within a solution may vary from phase to phase; it is important to keep in mind that we will manage discounts relative to the distinct award by the government in support of a solution. Sapient will establish its Standard Price with its standard daily labor rates, based on level-of-effort estimation of known scope of the distinct award. Sapient may reduce its Standard Price to a Sold‑As Price in order to create a discount. The Sold‑As Price represents the agreed upon fee which Sapient will be paid for executing and completing the solution. The difference between the Standard Price and the Sold-as Price, represented by a percentage is by definition the Discount. With this in mind, Sapient will offer the government the benefit of a range of Sold-As prices that contained slightly more than 0% to as much as 10% discounting by Solution Engagement (end-to-end projects) as represented by a discrete procurement and specific award. The amount of the discount will be directly proportional to the amount of revenue the award is actually worth as indicated in the table below.

Use Of Federal Supply Service Information Technology Schedule Contracts.

In accordance with FAR 8.404:

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 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, administrative costs, etc.) to meet the Government s needs.

a. 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.

b. 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
