SECTION G - CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DATA

252.204-7006 Billing Instructions OCT 2005

CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION

G.1. Contract Administration.

G.1.1. The FCoE MAIDIQ contracts and Task Orders will be administered by the Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC) - Fort Sill, Oklahoma.

G.1.2. The Contractor will be provided the names of responsible personnel upon contract award. A Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer will be assigned from the MICC - Fort Sill, Oklahoma, serving in capacity of Contract Administrators. Personnel changes may be made at any time by written notice from the Government.

G.2. Post-Award Conference.

G.2.1. A post award conference (as described in FAR Subpart 42.5, Postaward Orientation), will be held by MICC – Fort Sill. At a minimum, the Contractor's Project Manager shall attend the conference. If the contract involves subcontractors, a representative of each subcontractor may also attend.

G.2.2. The Contracting Officer and the Contractor will agree to the date, time, and location of the conference after contract award. In event of a conflict in schedules, the Contracting Officer will establish the date for the conference.

G.3. Ordering.

G.3.1. This contract is intended for maximum flexibility in providing for an expedited ordering process in order to satisfy customer needs. All ordering procedures shall be simplified and streamlined to the maximum extent, but shall remain in compliance with FAR 16.505, Ordering. The KO may exercise broad discretion in developing the most appropriate order placement procedures.

G.3.2.Formal evaluation plans or scoring of quotes or offers are not required for orders competed under the MAIDIQ contracts; however sufficient documentation shall be maintained to clearly support the selection decision.

KOs will consider the nature, value, duration, extent of existing information (e.g., past performance information, existing quality control plans, etc.), and the extent of information requested when determining the order placement approach, submission requirements and response time. This content is not to be construed to mandate that FAR subpart 15.3, Source Selection procedures are to be used. As prescribed in FAR 16.505(b)(1)(ii), FAR subpart 15.3 does not apply to the ordering process.

G.3.3. Orders are exempt from the development of an acquisition plan/strategy as one has already been approved by the Principal Assistant Responsible for Contracting.

G.3.4. Orders will be solicited in a streamlined manner. When a requirement is needed, each contractor will be issued a task order request (TOR) with the following information in order to compete for each task order:

G.3.4.1. Price Schedule

G.3.4.2. Performance Work Statement

G.3.4.3. Response Date

G.3.4.4. Intended type of source selection – Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) or Tradeoff.

G.3.4.5. Any other information that may be relevant to that particular order

G.3.5. The length of time between release of the TOR and submission of TO proposals shall be commensurate with the complexity of the requirement. The Government may use draft task order requests when deemed beneficial and sufficient time is available.

G.3.6. Fair Opportunity. In accordance with FAR 16.505(b)(1), the KO must provide each contract awardee a fair opportunity to be considered for each TO exceeding $3,500.00, except as provided at FAR 16.505(b)(2). Pursuant to FAR 16.505(b)(1)(iii), each order exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold shall be placed on a competitive basis unless supported by a written determination that one of the circumstances described at 16.505(b)(2)(i) applies to the order and the requirement is waived on the basis of a justification that is prepared in accordance with 16.505(b)(2)(ii)(B).

G.3.7. The FCOE MAIDIQ base contract cannot predetermine all the contract provisions/clauses for future individual TOs. All contract clauses in the basic IDIQ contract flow down to task orders, as needed. However, clauses may be added at the task order level as long as they do not conflict with the clauses included in the basic contract or conflict with the scope of the basic contract. For example, 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, and 52.217-9, Option to Extend the Term of the Contract, may be included and tailored at the task order level as well as clauses related to Government Furnished Property.

G.3.8. Incorporation of Proposals in Task Order Awards.

G.3.8.1. Successful task order proposals shall may be incorporated into the task order award using this language, “Contractor’s proposal dated MM/DD/YY is hereby incorporated by reference.” If the government intends to incorporate a task order proposal into the task order award, it shall provide notice of its intent in the RTOP. In the event of inconsistencies between the provisions of the base IDIQ contract, task order request for proposals (RTOP), and task order proposal, the inconsistencies shall be resolved by the following order of precedence: (1) the base IDIQ contact, (2) the request for task order proposal excluding the proposal, then (3) the task order proposal.

G.3.8.2. When trade-off source selection is used to award a task order, the performance or capabilities proposed above the mandatory minimums shall be incorporated into the contract.
