SPECIAL NOTICE TO AGENCIES:
Small Business Participation
SBA strongly supports the participation of small business concerns in the Federal Supply Schedules Program. 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/pricelists of at least three schedule contractors or consider reasonably available information by using the GSA Advantage!TMon line shopping service (www.fiss.gs
a.gov). The catalogs/pricelists, GSA Advantage!TM and the Federal Supply Service Home Page (www.fss.gsa.gov) 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 consi
dered 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.

______________________________________________________________________________11.1 Orders That Exceed the Maximum Order (I-FSS0125) (AUG 1995)
a. In accordance with FAR 8.404 there may be circumstances where an ordering activity finds it
advantageous to request a price reduction such as where a quantity of an individual order clearly indicates the potential for obtaining a reduced price.
To assist the customer agencies to determine when they should seek a price decrease, a level
called a maximum order has been established under the contract. When an agency order exceeds this amount it is recommended that the ordering activity contact the contractor for a reduced price.
b. Contractor may:
(1) Offer a new lower price for this requirement (the Price Reduction clause is not applicable to Orders placed over the Maximum Order in FAR 52.216-19.)
(2) Offer the lowest price available under the contract; or
(3) Decline the order; orders must be returned in accordance with FAR 52.216-19.
c. A delivery order for quantities that exceed the maximum order may be placed with the contractor selected in accordance with FAR 8.404. The order will be placed under the current contract.
d. Sales for orders that exceed the Maximum Order shall be reported in accordance with GSAR
552.238-72.
______________________________________________________________________________
12. USE OF FEDERAL SUPPLY SERVICE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SCHEDULE CONTRACTS, IN ACCORDANCE WITH FAR 8.404
Orders placed pursuant to a Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), using the procedures in FAR 8.404, are considered to be issued pursuant to full and open competition. Therefore, when placing orders under Federal Supply Schedules, ordering offices need not seek further c
ompetition, synopsize the requirement, make a separate determination of fair and reasonable pricing, or consider small business set asides in accordance with subpart 19.5. GSA has already determined the prices of items under schedule contracts to be fair and reaso
nable. By placing an order against a schedule using the procedures outlined below, the ordering office has concluded that the order
represents the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative (considering price, special features, administrative costs, etc.) to meet the Government's needs.
a. Orders placed at or below the micro purchase threshold. Ordering offices can place orders at or below the micro purchase threshold with any Federal Supply Schedule Contractor.
b. Orders exceeding the micro purchase threshold but not exceeding the maximum order threshold. Orders should be placed with the Schedule Contractor that can provide the supply or an order about the supply or service offered under MAS contracts by using the
"GSA Advantage!" on line shopping service, or by reviewing the catalogs/pricelists of at least three Schedule Contractors and selecting the delivery and other options available under the schedule that meets the agency's needs. In selecting the supply or service re
presenting the best value, the ordering office may consider--
(1) Special features of the supply or service that are required in effective program performance and that are not provided by a comparable supply or service;
(2) Trade in considerations;
(3) Probable life of the item selected as compared with that of a comparable item;
(4) Warranty considerations;
(5) Maintenance availability;
(6) Past performance; and
(7) Environmental and energy efficiency considerations.
c. Orders exceeding the maximum order threshold. Each schedule contract has an established maximum order threshold. This threshold represents the point where it is advantageous for the ordering office to seek a price reduction. In addition to following the proced
ures in paragraph b, above, and before placing an order that exceeds the maximum order threshold, ordering offices shall
(1) Review additional Schedule Contractors' catalogs/pricelists or use the "GSA Advantage! on line shopping service;
(2) Based upon the initial evaluation, generally seek price reductions from the Schedule Contractor(s) appearing to provide the best value (considering price and other factors);
and
(3) After price reductions have been sought, place the order with the Schedule Contractor that provides the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative. If further price reductions are not offered, an order may still be placed, if the ordering of
fice determines that it is appropriate.
Note: For orders exceeding the maximum order threshold, the Contractor may:
(1) Offer a new lower price for this requirement (the Price Reductions clause is not applicable to orders placed over the maximum order in FAR 52.216 19 Order Limitations);
(2) Offer the lowest price available under the contract; or
(3) Decline the order (orders must be returned in accordance with FAR 52.216 19).
d. Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs). The establishment of Federal Supply Schedule BPAs is permitted when following the ordering procedures in FAR 8.404. All schedule contracts contain BPA provisions. Ordering offices may use BPAs to establish accounts wi
th Contractors to fill recurring requirements. BPAs should address the frequency of ordering and invoicing, discounts, and delivery locations and times.
e. Price Reductions. In addition to the circumstances outlined in paragraph c, above, there may be instances when ordering offices will find it advantageous to request a price reduction. For example, when the ordering office finds a schedule supply or service el
sewhere at a lower price or when a BPA is being established to fill recurring requirements, requesting a price reduction could be advantageous. The potential volume of orders under these agreements, regardless of the size of the individual order, may offer the ord
ering office the opportunity to secure greater discounts. Schedule Contractors are not required to pass on to all schedule users a price reduction extended only to an individual agency for a specific order.
g. Small Business. For orders exceeding the micro purchase threshold, ordering offices should give preference to the items of small business concerns when two or more items at the same delivered price will satisfy the requirement.
h. Documentation. Orders should be documented, at a minimum, by identifying the Contractor, the item was purchased from, the item purchased, and the amount paid. If an agency requirement in excess of the micro purchase threshold is defined so as to require a parti
cular brand name, product, or feature of a product peculiar to one manufacturer, thereby precluding consideration of a product manufactured by another company, the ordering office shall include an explanation in the file as to why the particular brand name, produc
t, or feature is essential to satisfy the agency's needs.
____________________________________________________________________________________

and the remedies available to the Government for breach of this warranty shall be as defined in, and subject to, the terms and limitations of the Contractor's standard commercial warranty or warranties contained in this contract, provided that notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary in such commercial warranty or warranties, the remedies available to the Government under this warranty shall include repair or replacement of any listed product whose non compliance is discovered and made known to the Contractor in writi
ng within ninety (90) days after acceptance. Nothing in this warranty shall be construed to limit any rights or remedies the Government may otherwise have under this contract with respect to defects other than Year 2000 performance.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
21. BLANKET PURCHASE AGREEMENTS (BPAs)
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.201(a) defines Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) as "...a simplified method of filling anticipated repetitive needs for supplies or services by
establishing 'charge accounts' with qualified sources of supply." The use of Blanket Purchase Agreements under the Federal Supply Schedule Program is authorized in accordance with FAR 13.202(c)(3), which reads, in part, as follows:
"BPAs may be established with Federal Supply Schedule Contractors, if not inconsistent with the terms of the applicable schedule contract"
Federal Supply Schedule contracts contain BPA provisions to enable schedule users to maximize their administrative and purchasing savings. This feature permits schedule users to set up "accounts" with Schedule Contractors to fill recurring requirements. These acco
unts establish a period for the BPA and generally address issues such as the frequency of ordering and invoicing, authorized callers, discounts, delivery locations and times. Agencies may qualify for the best quantity/volume discounts available under the contract,
based on the potential volume of business that may be generated through such an agreement, regardless of the size of the individual orders. In addition, agencies may be able to secure a discount higher than that available in the contract based on the aggregate vo
lume of business possible under a BPA. Finally, Contractors may be open to a progressive type of discounting where the discount would increase once the sales accumulated under the BPA reach certain prescribed levels. Use of a BPA may be particularly useful with th
e new Maximum Order feature. See the Suggested Format, contained in this Schedule Pricelist, for customers to consider when using this purchasing tool.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
22. CONTRACTOR TEAM ARRANGEMENTS
Federal Supply Schedule Contractors may use "Contractor Team Arrangements" (see FAR 9.6) to provide solutions when responding to a customer agency requirements. The policy and procedures outlined in this part will provide more flexibility and allow innovative acqu
isition methods when using the Federal Supply Schedules. See the additional information regarding Contractor Team Arrangements in this Schedule Pricelist.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT) PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
(SPECIAL ITEM NUMBER 132 51)
1. SCOPE
a. The prices, terms and conditions stated under Special Item Number 132 51 Information Technology Professional Services apply exclusively to IT Services within the scope of this Information Technology Schedule. Foreign Military Sales (FMS) are included under the
scope of this contract.
b. The Contractor shall provide services at the Contractor's facility and/or at the Government location, as agreed to by the Contractor and the ordering office.
2. ORDERING PROCEDURES
a. Procedures for IT professional services priced on GSA schedule at hourly rates.
(1) FAR 8.402 contemplates that GSA may occasionally find it necessary to establish special ordering procedures for individual Federal Supply Schedules or for some Special Item Numbers (SINS) within a Schedule. GSA has established special ordering procedures for I
T professional services (SIN 132 51) that are priced on schedule at hourly rates. These special ordering procedures which are outlined herein take precedence over the procedures in FAR 8.404.
(2) The GSA has determined that the rates for IT professional services contained in this pricelist are fair and reasonable. However, the ordering office using this contract is responsible for considering the level of effort and mix of labor proposed to perform a s
pecific task being ordered and for making a determination that the total firm fixed price or ceiling price is fair and reasonable.
(3) When ordering IT professional services ordering offices shall -
(i) Prepare a Request for Quotation:
(A) A performance based statement of work that outlines, at a minimum, the work to be performed, location of work, period of performance, deliverable schedule, applicable standards, acceptance criteria, and any special requirements (i.e., security clearances, trav
el, special knowledge, etc.) should be prepared.
(B) A request for quotation should be prepared which includes the performance based statement of work and requests the contractors submit either a firm fixed price or a ceiling price to provide the services outlined in the statement of work. A firm-fixed price ord
er shall be requested, unless the ordering officer makes a
determination that it is not possible at the time of placing the order to estimate accurately the extent or duration of the work or to anticipate cost with any reasonable degree of confidence. When such a determination is made, a labor hour or a time-and material
s proposal may be requested. The firm-fixed price shall be based on the hourly rates in the schedule contract and shall consider the mix of labor categories and level of effort required to perform the services described in the statement of work. The firm fixed pr
ice of the order should also include any travel costs or other incidental costs related to performance of the services ordered, unless the order provides for reimbursement of travel costs at the rates provided in the Federal Travel or Joint Travel Regulations. A c
eiling price must be established for labor hour and time and material orders.
(C) The request for quotation may request the contractors, if necessary or appropriate, submit a project plan for performing the task and information on the contractor's experience and/or past performance performing similar tasks.
(D) The request for quotation shall notify the contractors what basis will be used for selecting the contractor to receive the order. The notice shall include the basis for determining whether the contractors are technically qualified and provide an explanation re
garding the intended use of any experience and/or past performance information in determining technical acceptability of responses. If consideration will be limited to schedule contractors who are small business concerns as permitted by paragraph (ii)(A) below, th
e request for quotations shall notify the contractors that will be the case.
(ii) Transmit the Request for Quotation to Contractors:
(A) Based upon an initial evaluation of catalogs and pricelists, the ordering office should identify the contractors that appear to offer the best value (considering the scope of services offered, hourly rates and other factors such as contractors' locations, as a
ppropriate). When buying IT professional services under SIN 132 51 ONLY, the ordering office, at its discretion, may limit consideration to those schedule contractors that are small business concerns. This limitation is not applicable when buying supplies and/or s
ervices under other SINs as well as SIN 132 51. The limitation may only be used when at least three (3) small businesses that appear to offer services that will meet the agency's needs are available, if the order is estimated to exceed the micro purchase threshold
(B) The request for quotation should be to three (3) contractors if the proposed order is estimated to exceed the micro purchase threshold, but not to exceed the maximum order threshold. For proposed orders exceeding the maximum order threshold, the request for qu
otation should be provided to additional contractors that offer services that will meet the agency's needs. Ordering offices should
strive to minimize the contractors' costs associated with responding to requests for proposals for specific orders. Requests should be tailored to the minimum level necessary for adequate evaluation and selection for order placement.
(iii) Evaluate proposals and select the contractor to receive the order:
After responses have been evaluated against the factors identified in the request for quotation, the order should be placed with the schedule contractor that represents the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative (considering price, special q
ualifications, administrative costs, etc.) to meet the Government's needs.
(4) The establishment of Federal Supply Schedule Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) for recurring services is permitted when the procedures outlined herein are followed. All BPAs for services must define the services that may be ordered under the BPA, along with d
elivery or performance time frames, billing procedures, etc. The potential volume of orders under BPAs, regardless of the size of individual orders, may offer the ordering office the opportunity to secure volume discounts. When establishing BPAs ordering offices s
hall -
(i) Inform contractors in the request for quotation (based on the agency's requirement) if a single BPA or multiple BPAs will be established, and indicate the basis that will be used for selecting the contractors to be awarded the BPAs.
(A) Single BPA. Generally, a single BPA should be established when the ordering office can define the tasks to be ordered under the BPA and establish a firm fixed price or ceiling price for individual tasks or services to be ordered. When this occurs, authorized u
sers may place the order directly under the established BPA when the need for service arises. The schedule contractor that represents the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative to meet the agency's needs should be awarded the BPA.
(B) Multiple BPAs. When the ordering office determines multiple BPAs are needed to meet its requirements, the ordering office should determine which contractors can meet any technical qualifications before establishing the BPAs. When multiple BPAs are established,
the authorized users must follow the procedure in (3)(ii)(B) above, and then place the order with the schedule contractor that represents the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative to meet the agency's needs.
(ii) Review BPAs periodically. Such reviews shall be conducted at least annually. The purpose of the review is to determine whether the BPA still represents the best value (considering price, special qualifications, etc.) and results in the lowest overall cost alt
ernative to meet the agency's needs.
(5) The ordering office should give preference to small business concerns when two or more contractors can provide the services at the same firm fixed price or ceiling price.
(6) When the ordering office's requirement involves both products as well as IT professional services, the ordering office should total the prices for the products and the firm fixed price for the services and select the contractor that represents the greatest val
ue in terms of meeting the agency's total needs.
(7) The ordering office, at a minimum, should document orders by identifying the contractor the services were purchased from, the services purchased, and the amount paid. If other than a firm fixed price order is placed, such documentation should include the basis
for the determination to use a labor hour or time and materials order. For agency requirements in excess of the micro purchase threshold, the order file should document the evaluation of schedule contractors' proposals that formed the basis for the selection of t
he contractor that received the order and the rationale for any trade offs made in making the selection.
c. Ordering Procedures for other services available on schedule at fixed prices for specifically defined services or tasks.
Orders placed pursuant to a Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), using the procedures in FAR 8.404, are considered to be issued pursuant to full and open competition. Therefore, when placing orders under Federal Supply Schedules, ordering offices need not seek further c
ompetition, synopsize the requirement, make a separate determination of fair and reasonable pricing, or consider small business set asides in accordance with subpart 19.5. GSA has already determined the prices of items under schedule contracts to be fair and reaso
nable. By placing an order against a schedule using the procedures outlined below, the ordering office has concluded that the order represents the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative (considering price, special features, administrative co
sts, etc.) to meet the Government's needs.
(1) Orders placed at or below the micropurchase threshold. Ordering offices can place orders at or below the micro purchase threshold with any Federal Supply Schedule Contractor.
(2) Orders exceeding the micropurchase threshold but not exceeding the maximum order threshold. Orders should be placed with the Schedule Contractor that can provide the supply or service that represents the best value. Before placing an order, ordering offices sh
ould consider reasonably available information about the service offered under MAS contracts by using the "GSA Advantage!" on line shopping service, or by reviewing the catalogs/pricelists of at least three Schedule Contractors and schedule that meets the agency's
needs. In selecting the service representing the best value, the ordering office may consider (i) special features of the service that are required in effective program performance and that are not provided by a comparable service; and (ii) past performance.
(3) Orders exceeding the maximum order threshold. Each schedule contract has an established maximum order threshold. This threshold represents the point where it is advantageous for the ordering office to seek a price reduction. In addition to following the proced
ures in paragraph b, above, and before placing an order that exceeds the maximum order threshold, ordering offices shall
(i) Review additional Schedule Contractors' catalogs/pricelists or use the "GSA Advantage!" on line shopping service;
(ii) Based upon the initial evaluation, generally seek price reductions from the Schedule Contractor(s) appearing to provide the best value (considering price and other factors); and
(iii) After price reductions have been sought, place the order with the Schedule Contractor that provides the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative. if further price reductions are not offered, an order may still be placed, if the ordering
office determines that it is appropriate.
Note: For orders exceeding the maximum order threshold, the Contractor may:
(A) Offer a new lower price for this requirement (the Price Reductions clause is not applicable to orders placed over the maximum order in FAR 52.21619 Order Limitations);
(B) Offer the lowest price available under the contract; or
(C) Decline the order (orders must be returned in accordance with FAR 52.216 19).
(4) Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs). The establishment of Federal Supply Schedule BPAs is permitted when following the ordering procedures in FAR 8.404. All schedule contracts contain BPA provisions. Ordering offices may use BPAs to establish accounts with Cont
ractors to fill recurring requirements. BPAs should address the frequency of ordering and invoicing, delivery locations and times.
(5) Price Reductions. In addition to the circumstances outlined in paragraph (3), above, there may be instances when ordering offices will find it advantageous to request a price reduction. For example, when the ordering office finds a schedule service elsewhere a
t a lower price or when a BPA is being established to fill recurring requirements, requesting a price reduction could be advantageous. The potential volume of orders under these agreements, regardless of the size of the individual order, may offer the ordering off
