I INFORMATION FOR ORDERING OFFICES

Special Notice To Agencies: Small Business Participation.

SBA strongly supports the participation of small business concerns in the Federal Acquisition Service.

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/pricelist of at least three schedule contractors or consider reasonably available information by using the GSA Advantage!TM on-line shopping service (www.gsaadvantage.gov). The catalogs/pricelists, GSA Advantage!TM and the Federal Acquisition Service Home page (www.gsa.gov/fas) 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.

1. Geographic Scope of Contract:

Domestic delivery is delivery within the 48 contiguous states, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Washington, DC and U.S. territories. Domestic delivery also includes a port of consolidation point, within the aforementioned areas, for orders received from overseas activities.

10. Organizational Conflicts Of Interest

a. Definitions.

“Contractor” means the person, firm, unincorporated association, joint venture, partnership, or corporation that is a party to this contract.

“Contractor and its affiliates” and “Contractor or its affiliates” refers to the Contractor, its chief executives, directors, officers, subsidiaries, affiliates, subcontractors at any tier, and consultants and any joint venture involving the Contractor, any entity into or with which the Contractor subsequently merges or affiliates, or any other successor or assignee of the Contractor.

An “Organizational conflict of interest” exists when the nature of the work to be performed under a proposed ordering activity contract, without some restriction on ordering activities by the Contractor and its affiliates, may either (i) result in an unfair competitive advantage to the Contractor or its affiliates or (ii) impair the Contractor’s or its affiliates’ objectivity in performing contract work.

b. To avoid an organizational or financial conflict of interest and to avoid prejudicing the best interests of the ordering activity, ordering activities may place restrictions on the Contractors, its affiliates, chief executives, directors, subsidiaries and subcontractors at any tier when placing orders against schedule contracts. Such restrictions shall be consistent with FAR 9.505 and shall be designed to avoid, neutralize, or mitigate organizational conflicts of interest that might otherwise exist in situations related to individual orders placed against the schedule contract. Examples of situations, which may require restrictions, are provided at FAR 9.508.

11. Invoices

The Contractor, upon completion of the work ordered, shall submit invoices for IT services.

Progress payments may be authorized by the ordering activity on individual orders if appropriate. Progress payments shall be based upon completion of defined milestones or interim products. Invoices shall be submitted monthly for recurring services performed during the preceding month.

12. Payments

For firm-fixed price orders the ordering activity shall pay the Contractor, upon submission of proper invoices or vouchers, the prices stipulated in this contract for service rendered and accepted.

The ordering activity may require that the Contractor receive, from the ordering activity's Contracting Officer, written consent before placing any subcontract for furnishing any of the work called for in a task order.

16. Statement Of Work (SOW) Requirement:

All work performed under this agreement shall be authorized through the issuance of a Statement of Work (SOW) and Delivery Order. Prior to issuance of a Delivery Order, the ordering activity may issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) or Request for Quote (RFQ) to ATSI. ATSI shall respond to each RFP/RFQ as appropriate. The order activity and ATSI shall then negotiate in good faith on a Delivery Order by Delivery Order basis, the type of order (time and materials [T&M] or fixed price and the specific SOW. The Delivery Order will address the price or price estimate and other direct costs, payment terms, as well as terms or conditions specific to that order. The SOW is an integral part of the Delivery Order and will specify the products and/or services to be delivered; the schedule and applicable milestones.

a. Mutual Agreement – Both parties agree in writing to the work that is to be performed and deliverables that may be required.

b. Scope of Work – States the parameters and what is to be accomplished.

c. Period of Performance – Specifies the time in which the services will be performed.

d. Deliverables – The end products that the ordering agency may require upon the completion or during the period of performance. Deliverables include, but are not limited to, reports, studies, and design documents, and will be specified in the Delivery Order. The delivery schedule will be subject to mutual agreement.

e. Acceptance Period – The agreed upon time frame in which services are evaluated as to conformance with the requirements.

f. Other Task Relevant Provisions – Will be determined by the ordering agency and ATSI subject to mutual agreement.

17. Billable Hours

ATSI timekeeping is based on a “total–time accounting” system. Employees record all hours worked and allocate these hours to their correct cost categories, whether direct or indirect. ATSI bills for all hours worked, including travel time when the employee is traveling in support of a contract (at the customer’s direction).

18. Other Direct Costs (ODCs)

In accordance with ATSI’s accounting practices, any item used in direct support of a contract may be charged as direct. Typically ODCs include, but are not limited to, long-distance telephone, reproduction, hardware, software, microcomputer usage, miscellaneous supplies (e.g. diskettes and pagers), and local and long-distance travel with the appropriate indirect burdens (not fee or profit).

Travel required in the performance of ADP services under this contract will be reimbursed by the ordering agency. Travel will be in accordance with the Federal Travel Regulation or Joint Travel Regulations, as applicable. Established Federal Government per diem rates will apply to Contractor travel. ATSI will provide a detailed description of all proposed ODCs, anticipated travel, and direct materials in response to each Delivery Order.

The labor category rates included in the pricelist will apply to the work performed within the geographical scope of this contract. However, we recognize that work may be required that may result in markedly different costs than are normally incurred, for example, work performed in overseas location (i.e., outside the 48 contiguous states). ATSI would expect

– in conjunction with the customer - to examine these costs and negotiate appropriate pricing arrangement on a case-by-case basis.

19. Customer Facility Requirements

Should work be required at the Customer site, ATSI would expect to furnish only the appropriate staff members to complete the work. We would expect the customer to furnish all office space, equipment, and supplies at no cost to ATSI. This includes but is not limited to, telephones, faxes, copiers, personal computers, ordinary business software, and normal copying and reproduction services.

20. Rate Differentials

The rates included in our IT Federal Supply Services Pricelist represent fully loaded hourly labor rates for each skill classification for work performed at Government sites.

a. Work at Government Site – Should work be required at the Government site, ATSI will apply the Government site rates included in our price list. These rates assume that:

1. The Government provides all office space, supplies, and equipment; and

2. ATSI employees are 100 percent dedicated and billable to project for a period of performance period of not less than 90 days.

If the above conditions cannot be met, ATSI will be required to negotiate contractor site hourly rates which is currently not included in this pricelist.

b. Work at Contractor Site - Work performed at the Contractor's site within the geographical scope of the contract will be provided at rates to be negotiated.

c. Security Clearance Requirements – In the event that security requirements are necessary, the ordering activities may incorporate in their delivery orders a security clause in accordance with the current laws, regulations, and individual agency policy; however, the burden of administering the security requirements shall be with the ordering agency. If any costs are incurred as a result of the inclusion of security requirements, such costs will be negotiated with the ordering agency on an open market basis outside the scope of the contract.

21. Labor Categories ATSI recognizes that successful performance depends on having the right skills and experience.

These skills and experience, in turn, are acquired through the proper mix of education and professional experience. More and more, we find that the skills needed to support advanced technology efforts, are not supported by a traditional education-work experience combination.

ATSI's approach to meet today's problems and tomorrow’s challenges is to incorporate the progressive attitude prevalent in today’s market. Therefore, ATSI proposes equivalencies between experience and advanced degrees that allow us to take full measure of an individual’s capabilities.
