1.7 Army Approach to

Service Contracting

The Department of Army (DoA) spends over $1 billion in annual obligations to meet global requirements for facility operations and maintenance provided through Facility Support Contracts (FSC) and additional billions to provide other base operations support services (OBOS). The Head of the Contracting Activity (HCA) has focused increased attention on re-engineering FSC contracts in response to customer and industry feedback, budget constraints, and the impact of a variety of contracting, program management and financial management regulations. The Army also supports the following principles:

1.7.1 Partnering

Philosophy

The first principle is that the Army views its contractors as partners and not just abstract service providers. The Army wants its contractors to succeed because partners' success drives the Army's successful mission completion. Within the bounds of acquisition policy the Army intends to work to find solutions that will be beneficial to both the Government and its partners.

1.7.2 Contractor's

Knowledge

The second principle is that the Army will receive insightful management from its contractors. This management will include the knowledge, skills, authority and willingness to use contractor resources to find better ways of serving Army clients’ strategic and operational goals and objectives. The Army's use of performance-based objectives evidences this principle. Although performance work statements will typically contain several levels of performance assessment, the Army wants its contractors to exercise maximum discretion within bounds of prudent risk management to adjust processes and resources needed to reach specified objectives at the highest performance level.

1.7.3 Industry Best

Practices

The third principle is that the Army will adopt industry best commercial practices and maintain state-of-the-art service delivery. It is the Army's and contractor's responsibility as partners to reach this goal. To that end, the Army's

0100000 – General Information Spec Item

Title Description emphasis will be in evaluating performance objectives (end results).

1.8 Standard Template Key to implementing a programmatic approach is using a standard template that ensures Army-wide consistency yet affords appropriate tailoring to meet local needs. This contract conforms to the standard template and has been tailored for this solicitation. Offerors should develop an understanding of the template as part of performing due diligence in reaching an understanding of the Army’s requirements and expectations.

The standard template contains 18 standard annexes. Annex 1 will always contain information that is relevant to the entire scope of the contract. Annex 2 contains on-site project management and administration requirements that are relevant to the entire scope of the contract. Annexes 3 through 18 contain the technical information and requirements peculiar to that technical annex. Within each technical annex, the organization of information and requirements are also standardized. Specification item 1 will always contain General Information. Specification item 2 will always contain the management and administrative requirements. Specification item 3 will always contain the Firm Fixed- Price (FFP) requirements. Specification item 4 will always contain the Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) requirements. Requirements and standards for higher level specification items apply to all subordinate specification items, e.g., Specification Item 3 standards apply to all firm fixed priced specification items. Specification Item 3.1 is applicable to all 3.1 subordinate specification items. Specification Items 3.2 and 3.3 are not considered subordinate to

3.1. All costs associated with Annexes 1 and 2 and Specification items 1 and 2 must be priced and distributed within Specification Item 3 of Annexes 3 through 18.

1.9 Army PBSC

Approach

The Army’s approach to performance-based service contracting (PBSC) includes four component parts which are 1) performance outcomes, 2) measurable standards, 3) consideration of incentives, and 4) quality assurance surveillance plan.

1.10 Technical Proposal

Certification

The contractor warrants that its proposal incorporated herein by reference including, but not limited to, proposed approaches, staffing, methodology, or work plans, will meet the performance objectives set forth in this contract during execution thereof. The contractor is not excused from meeting such performance objectives in the event such proposal proves inadequate as conceived or executed to meet such performance objectives. The contractor understands that it bears all of the cost and performance risk associated with adopting acceptable additional (and/or alternative) means or methods of meeting the performance objective.
