PRICES/COSTS

B.1 GENERAL

The Alliant 2 Governmentwide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) is a Multiple Award, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide information technology solutions through performance of a broad range of services, which may include the integration of various technologies critical to the services being acquired.

A Task Order is defined as “an order for services placed against an established contract or with Government sources,” FAR 2.101. Task Orders are issued by federal agencies off the GSA Alliant 2 GWAC.

The Contractor shall provide all management, supervision, labor, facilities and materials necessary to perform on a Task Order basis.

Hereafter, the Alliant 2 GWAC is also referred to as the “Master Contract” while Task Orders issued under the Master Contract will be referred to as either “Task Order(s),” “TO(s),” or “Order(s).”

B.2 AUTHORITY

The Administrator of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) is specifically authorized to purchase supplies and Nonpersonal services on behalf of other agencies under the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act (40 U.S.C. 501).

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has designated the GSA as an Executive Agent for Governmentwide information technology (IT) acquisitions pursuant to Section 5112(e) of the Clinger-Cohen Act, 40 U.S.C.

11302(e).

The scope of this designation includes the award and administration of the Master Contract and delegation of authority for the award and administration of the Task Orders as set forth in Section G.2. Through this GWAC, Federal government agencies can award Task Orders to acquire IT services based solutions.

B.3 ECONOMY ACT

The Economy Act does not apply to Governmentwide acquisition contracts (GWACs). GWACs are multiple award Task Order or delivery order contracts used by other agencies to procure information technology products and services outside of the Economy Act. (Refer to Federal Acquisition Regulations FAR 2.101 and FAR Subpart 17.502-2(b)). The specific statutory authority 40 U.S.C. 11302(e) designates the head of one or more executive agencies, such as the US General Services Administration, as executive agent for Government-wide acquisitions of information technology.

B.4 MAXIMUM CONTRACT CEILING AND MINIMUM

CONTRACT GUARANTEE

(a) Maximum. The maximum contract ceiling value of all contracts in this multiple award procurement is established at $50 Billion dollars.

(b) Minimum. The minimum guaranteed award amount for this IDIQ contract is $2,500 dollars per Contractor for the full term of the Master Contract. The exercise of the option period does not re-establish the contract minimum.

Should the contract expire or be unilaterally terminated for convenience by the Government without the contractor receiving the minimum guaranteed award amount, the contractor may present a claim to the contracting officer for an amount not to exceed the minimum guaranteed award amount. The minimum guaranteed award amount is not applicable if the contract is terminated for default or is bilaterally cancelled by the parties. The contractor has one year after contract termination or expiration to submit their claim to the contracting officer or waives entitlement.

(c) The Government has no obligation to issue Task Orders (TO) to the Contractor beyond the amount specified in paragraph (b) of this clause.

Once the conditions of paragraph (b) have been met the Contractor continues to be afforded fair opportunity, as per FAR 16.505(b)(1), to compete for Task Orders issued through the expiration of the Master Contract or termination of the Contractor’s Master Contract, whichever occurs first.

(d) As a result of an awarded Task Order that satisfies the minimum contract guarantee the government will deobligate the funded minimum contract guarantee from the Contractor’s Master Contract.

There is no maximum dollar ceiling for an individual Task Order.

B.5 PERFORMANCE BASED PREFERENCE

Through the direction of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP), performance-based contracting techniques will be applied to Task Orders issued under this contract to the “maximum extent practicable.” For information about performance based service contracts, refer to OFPP’s Best Practices Handbook located at www.whitehouse.gov/omb.

Pursuant to FAR 37.102(a)(2), the Ordering Contracting Officer will use performance-based acquisition methods to the maximum extent practicable using the following order of precedence:

(1) A Firm-Fixed Price Performance-Based Task Order;

(2) A Performance-Based Task Order that is not Firm-Fixed Price;

(3) A Task Order that is not Performance-Based.

B.6 LABOR CATEGORIES (LCAT or LCATs)

B.6.1 Three Labor Category Types To enhance the consistency of labor and service cost/price offers and reporting, the Master Contract provides the Standard IT Service Labor Categories (see Attachment J-3). These labor categories (LCATs), which are a subset of the Standard Occupational Classifications (SOCs) issued by the Department of Labor (DOL) Bureau, Labor Statistics Division, facilitate the standardization of labor types, descriptions, and rates across the entire contract vehicle. This approach provides the government more accurate cost forecasting, reporting, and tracking. Additionally, the Master Contract also provides for Non-Standard IT Service LCATs and Ancillary Service LCATs, as described below.

The Contractor is always bound by Maximum Rates on labor hours used in all Time-and material (T&M) and Labor Hour (L-H) Task Order contract types, including any T&M and L-H Contract Line Items (CLINS) that may be integrated into a single Task Order among Cost-type and/or Fixed-price CLINS. (See Subsection B.11.5.1 Maximum Rates for Time-and material and Labor Hour Contract Types).

Alliant 2 provides the following three (3) types of LCATs:

(1) Standard IT Service LCATs – This labor category type includes the defined IT Service LCATs (see Attachment J-3). Each of the defined Standard IT Service LCATs is further stratified to include four (4) skill levels.
