Attachment 1

Task 10.1

Background: PWS Task 10.1 Under the current IRES contract, Task Order 8002 includes IRES Program Management and Program Integration for the overarching contract level requirements. This task is traditionally where the senior level program and functional leaders charge their time against contract level requirements that are applicable to all task orders. It represents work that is not easily severable between task orders or would be burdensome to charge multiple increments of time against multiple task orders. This same task order also has a requirement for MDIOC Planning and Integration.

Under the MIOES contract, there will not be a single task order for the MIOES Program Management and Program Integration task. Instead, the contractor is expected to create an “overhead/indirect” type account that collects these costs that can then be charged against each task order. Under MIOES there will still be a single task order for MDIOC Planning and Integration which covers Technical Area 4 requirements.

The PWS language below represents the MIOES Program Management and Program Integration task requirements which will be documented in the Basic PWS and referenced as a task in the PWS for each task order. This task will be identified as 10.1 under each task order.
