INFORMATION FOR ORDERING ACTIVITIES
APPLICABLE TO ALL SPECIAL ITEM NUMBERS

 

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! on-line shopping service (www.fss.gsa.gov). The catalogs/pricelists, GSA Advantage! 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 considered 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.

 

1. GEOGRAPHIC SCOPE OF CONTRACT: Domestic delivery is delivery within the 48 contiguous states, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Washington, DC, and U.S. Territories.

12. USE OF FEDERAL SUPPLY SERVICE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SCHEDULE CONTRACTS. In accordance with FAR 8.404:

 

[NOTE: Special ordering procedures have been established for Special Item Number (SIN) 132-51 IT Professional Services; refer to the terms and conditions for that SIN.]

 

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 activities need not seek further competition, 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 reasonable. By placing an order against a schedule using the procedures outlined below, the ordering activity 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 ordering activity s needs.

 

a. Orders placed at or below the micro-purchase threshold. Ordering activities 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 service that represents the best value. Before placing an order, ordering activities should consider reasonably available information 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 ordering activity s needs. In selecting the supply or service representing the best value, the ordering activity 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 activity to seek a price reduction. In addition to following the procedures in paragraph b, above, and before placing an order that exceeds the maximum order threshold, ordering activities shall--

 

Review additional Schedule Contractors

 

(1) 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 activity 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 activities may use BPAs to establish accounts with 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 activities will find it advantageous to request a price reduction. For example, when the ordering activity finds a schedule supply or service elsewhere 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 ordering activity 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 ordering activity for a specific order.

 

f. Small business. For orders exceeding the micro-purchase threshold, ordering activities should give preference to the items of small business concerns when two or more items at the same delivered price will satisfy the requirement.

 

g. 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 ordering activity requirement, in excess of the micro-purchase threshold, is defined so as to require a particular brand name, product, or feature of a product peculiar to one manufacturer, thereby precluding consideration of a product manufactured by another company, the ordering activity shall include an explanation in the file as to why the particular brand name, product, or feature is essential to satisfy the ordering activity s needs.

 

13. FEDERAL INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY/TELECOMMUNICATION STANDARDS REQUIREMENTS: Ordering activities acquiring products from this Schedule must comply with the provisions of the Federal Standards Program, as appropriate (reference: NIST Federal Standards Index). Inquiries to determine whether or not specific products listed herein comply with Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) or Federal Telecommunication Standards (FED-STDS), which are cited by ordering activities, shall be responded to promptly by the Contractor.

 

13.1 FEDERAL INFORMATION PROCESSING STANDARDS PUBLICATIONS (FIPS PUBS): Information Technology products under this Schedule that do not conform to Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) should not be acquired unless a waiver has been granted in accordance with the applicable "FIPS Publication." Federal Information Processing Standards Publications (FIPS PUBS) are issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), pursuant to National Security Act. Information concerning their availability and applicability should be obtained from the National Technical Information Service (NTIS), 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, Virginia 22161. FIPS PUBS include voluntary standards when these are adopted for Federal use. Individual orders for FIPS PUBS should be referred to the NTIS Sales Office, and orders for subscription service should be referred to the NTIS Subscription Officer, both at the above address, or telephone number (703) 487-4650.

 

13.2 FEDERAL TELECOMMUNICATION STANDARDS (FED-STDS): Telecommunication products under this Schedule that do not conform to Federal Telecommunication Standards (FED-STDS) should not be acquired unless a waiver has been granted in accordance with the applicable "FED-STD." Federal Telecommunication Standards are issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), pursuant to National Security Act. Ordering information and information concerning the availability of FED-STDS should be obtained from the GSA, Federal Supply Service, Specification Section, 470 East L Enfant Plaza, Suite 8100, SW, Washington, DC 20407, telephone number (202)619-8925. Please include a self-addressed mailing label when requesting information by mail.

Agencies can browse GSA Advantage! by accessing the Internet World Wide Web utilizing a browser (ex.: NetScape). The Internet address is http://www.fss.gsa.gov/.

 

17. PURCHASE OF OPEN MARKET ITEMS:

 

NOTE: Open Market Items are also known as incidental items, noncontract items, non-Schedule items, and items not on a Federal Supply Schedule contract. ODCs (Other Direct Costs) are not part of this contract and should be treated at open market purchases. Ordering Activities procuring open market items must follow FAR 8.401(d).

 

For administrative convenience, an ordering activity contracting officer may add items not on the Federal Supply Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) -- referred to as open market items -- to a Federal Supply Schedule blanket purchase agreement (BPA) or an individual task or delivery order, only if-

 

(1) All applicable acquisition regulations pertaining to the purchase of the items not on the Federal Supply Schedule have been followed (e.g., publicizing (Part 5), competition requirements (Part 6), acquisition of commercial items (Part 12), contracting methods (Parts 13, 14, and 15), and small business programs (Part 19));

 

(2) The ordering activity contracting officer has determined the price for the items not on the Federal Supply Schedule is fair and reasonable;

 

(3) The items are clearly labeled on the order as items not on the Federal Supply Schedule; and

 

(4) All clauses applicable to items not on the Federal Supply Schedule are included in the order.

 

18. CONTRACTOR COMMITMENTS, WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS:

 

a. For the purpose of this contract, commitments, warranties and representations include, in addition to those agreed to for the entire schedule contract:

 

(1) Time of delivery/installation quotations for individual orders;

 

(2) Technical representations and/or warranties of products concerning performance, total system performance and/or configuration, physical, design and/or functional characteristics and capabilities of a product/equipment/ service/software package submitted in response to requirements which result in orders under this schedule contract.

 

(3) Any representations and/or warranties concerning the products made in any literature, description, drawings and/or specifications furnished by the Contractor.

 

b. The above is not intended to encompass items not currently covered by the GSA Schedule contract.

 

19. OVERSEAS ACTIVITIES: The terms and conditions of this contract shall apply to all orders for installation, maintenance and repair of equipment in areas listed in the pricelist outside the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia, except as indicated below:

 

Overseas activities are outside the scope of this contract.

 

Upon request of Beyond 20/20, the ordering activity may provide Beyond 20/20 with logistics support, as available, in accordance with all applicable ordering activity regulations. Such ordering activity support will be provided on a reimbursable basis, and will only be provided to Beyond 20/20's technical personnel whose services are exclusively required for the fulfillment of the terms and conditions of this contract.

 

20. BLANKET PURCHASE AGREEMENTS (BPAs): Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.303-1(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 13.303-2(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 accounts 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 volume 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 the new Maximum Order feature. See the Suggested Format, contained in this Schedule Pricelist, for customers to consider when using this purchasing tool.

 

21. CONTRACTOR TEAM ARRANGEMENTS: Contractors participating in contractor team arrangements must abide by all terms and conditions of their respective contracts. This includes compliance with Clauses 552.238-74, Industrial Funding Fee and Sales Reporting, i.e., each contractor (team member) must report sales and remit the IFF for all products and services provided under its individual contract.

 

22.              INSTALLATION, DEINSTALLATION, REINSTALLATION: The Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 276a-276a-7) provides that contracts in excess of $2,000 to which the United States or the District of Columbia is a party for construction, alteration, or repair (including painting and decorating) of public buildings or public works with the United States, shall contain a clause that no laborer or mechanic employed directly upon the site of the work shall received less than the prevailing wage rates as determined by the Secretary of Labor. The requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act do not apply if the construction work is incidental to the furnishing of supplies, equipment, or services. For example, the requirements do not apply to simple installation or alteration of a public building or public work that is incidental to furnishing supplies or equipment under a supply contract. However, if the construction, alteration or repair is segregable and exceeds $2,000, then the requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act applies.

The ordering activity issuing the task order against this contract will be responsible for proper administration and enforcement of the Federal labor standards covered by the Davis-Bacon Act. The proper Davis-Bacon wage determination will be issued by the ordering activity at the time a request for quotations is made for applicable construction classified installation, deinstallation, and reinstallation services under SIN 132-8.

 

23. SECTION 508 COMPLIANCE: If applicable, Section 508 compliance information on the supplies and services in this contract are available in Electronic and Information Technology (EIT) at the following: www.Beyond2020.com. The EIT standard can be found at: www.Section508.gov/.

 

24. PRIME CONTRACTOR ORDERING FROM FEDERAL SUPPLY SCHEDULES:

Prime Contractors (on cost reimbursement contracts) placing orders under Federal Supply Schedules, on behalf of an ordering activity, shall follow the terms of the applicable schedule and authorization and include with each order

 

(a) A copy of the authorization from the ordering activity with whom the contractor has the prime contract (unless a copy was previously furnished to the Federal Supply Schedule contractor); and

 

(b) The following statement:

 

This order is placed under written authorization from _______ dated _______. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this order and those of your Federal Supply Schedule contract, the latter will govern.

 

25. INSURANCE WORK ON A GOVERNMENT INSTALLATION (JAN 1997)(FAR 52.228-5):

28.310

a. Beyond 20/20 shall, at its own expense, provide and maintain during the entire performance of this contract, at least the kinds and minimum amounts of insurance required in the Schedule or elsewhere in the contract.

 

b. Before commencing work under this contract, Beyond 20/20 shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing that the required insurance has been obtained. The policies evidencing required insurance shall contain an endorsement to the effect that any cancellation or any material change adversely affecting the Government's interest shall not be effective

COMMERCIAL INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SOFTWARE

 

1. INSPECTION/ACCEPTANCE: Beyond 20/20 shall only tender for acceptance those items that conform to the requirements of this contract. The ordering activity reserves the right to inspect or test any software that has been tendered for acceptance. The ordering activity may require repair or replacement of nonconforming software at no increase in contract price. The ordering activity must exercise its postacceptance rights (1) within a reasonable time after the defect was discovered or should have been discovered; and (2) before any substantial change occurs in the condition of the software, unless the change is due to the defect in the software.

 

2. GUARANTEE/WARRANTY:

 

a. Unless specified otherwise in this contract, Beyond 20/20 s standard commercial guarantee/warranty as stated in the contract s commercial pricelist will apply to this contract.

 

Beyond 20/20 warrants that for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of delivery to an ordering activity, the software, if operated as directed, will substantially achieve the functionality described in the accompanying documentation. Beyond 20/20 does not warrant, however, that use of the software will be uninterrupted or that the operation of the software will be error-free or secure. Beyond 20/20 also warrants that the media containing the software, if provided by Beyond 20/20, is free from defects in material and workmanship and will remain so for thirty (30) days from the date of delivery to the ordering activity. During the warranty period, Beyond 20/20 will use reasonable commercial efforts to replace defective media and advise as to how to achieve the functionality warranted above.

 

Warranty Support

 

Warranty support provides free technical assistance during the initial period of product use. This level of support offers a total of up to 3 technical support inquiries during the 30-day period following the date of purchase. All support inquiries made after the initial 30-day period are free based, as described in the support packages below. Telephone toll charges are the responsibility of the ordering activity.

 

b. Beyond 20/20 warrants and implies that the items delivered hereunder are merchantable and fit for use for the particular purpose described in this contract.

 

c. Limitation of Liability. Except as otherwise provided by an express or implied warranty, Beyond 20/20 will not be liable to the ordering activity for consequential damages resulting from any defect or deficiencies in accepted items.

 

3. TECHNICAL SERVICES: Beyond 20/20, for the charges set forth in the pricelist at page 38, shall provide a hot line technical support number 1-888-TRY-2020 for the purpose of providing user assistance and guidance in the implementation of the software.

4. SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE:

 

a. Software maintenance service shall include the following:

 

Software Maintenance

The Software Maintenance program allows the organization to receive all updates, upgrades, bug fixes and new versions of the software that are released during the time period of the contract. The Software Maintenance program may be renewed on a yearly basis. Software can be shipped to the customer (shipping and handling are the responsibility of the customer), or accessed through Beyond 20/20's FTP site. As an added bonus, organizations purchasing Software Maintenance will also receive a complimentary 3-credit support pack.

 

Contact Beyond 20/20 for pricing details on the Software Maintenance program.

 

Support Pack

This program allows the pre-purchase of per incident technical support credits. These credits allow one contact person within the organization to call Beyond 20/20 and make technical inquiries regarding the products. Beyond 20/20 will apply one credit to each support inquiry. Telephone toll charges are the responsibility of the ordering activity.

 

There are two Support Packs available:

        3 technical support credits

        6 technical support credits

 

Beyond 20/20 will track the number of credits purchased and the number of credits used. Additional credit packs can be purchased at any time using VISA or MASTERCARD. One inquiry per credit would be allowed.

 

Support credits expire one year after their original date of purchase. If the technical support call results from a bug in the program that Beyond 20/20 can verify and confirm, no credit would be used.

 

This method provides users of Beyond 20/20 with an option for support services above and beyond the warrantee support service.

 

This method offers several benefits:

        access to support services when required for a reduced initial cost

        allows the organization to budget the cost of support

        provides the opportunity to put additional credit purchase requests through the necessary channels in the organization before the services are required

 

This plan is ideal for organizations that are comfortable with the tools, but may require help from Beyond 20/20 on occasion.

 

Organizations purchasing training services or software maintenance from Beyond 20/20 will receive a complimentary 3-credit Support Pack.

Contact Beyond 20/20 for pricing of the Support Packs.

        unlimited technical support, per designated primary contact person, during the period of the support contract (calls may be made during Beyond 20/20 s normal business hours, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. E.S.T.)

        all updates, upgrades, bug fixes and new versions of the software that are released during the time period of the contract

        priority response to support issues (for example bug fixes and updates that may correct a specific user issue)

        access to Beyond 20/20 beta program

 

Telephone toll charges are the responsibility of the ordering activity.

 

This method provides an organization with an easy flat rate method to budget the cost of total product support. This program allows an organization to keep up to date on their tools, without having to worry about the purchase of updates or additional versions during the contract period. The Total Care support plan may be renewed on a yearly basis.

 

Contact Beyond 20/20 for pricing of the Total Care support plan.

b. Invoices for maintenance service shall be submitted by Beyond 20/20 on a quarterly or monthly basis, after the completion of such period. Maintenance charges must be paid in arrears (31 U.S.C. 3324). PROMPT PAYMENT DISCOUNT, IF APPLICABLE, SHALL BE SHOWN ON THE INVOICE.

b. Maintenance may be discontinued by the ordering activity on thirty (30) calendar days written notice to Beyond 20/20.

 

c. Annual Funding. When annually appropriated funds are cited on an order for maintenance, the period of maintenance shall automatically expire on September 30 of the contract period, or at the end of the contract period, whichever occurs first. Renewal of maintenance orders citing the new appropriation shall be required, if the maintenance is to be continued during any remainder of the contract period.

 

d. Cross-Year Funding Within Contract Period. Where an ordering activity s specific appropriation authority provides for funds in excess of a 12 month (fiscal year) period, the ordering activity may place an order under this schedule contract for a period up to the expiration of the contract period, notwithstanding the intervening fiscal years.

 

e. Ordering activities should notify Beyond 20/20 in writing thirty (30) calendar days prior to the expiration of an order, if the maintenance is to be terminated at that time.

6. UTILIZATION LIMITATIONS ‑ (132‑33 AND 132‑34)

 

a. Software acquisition is limited to commercial computer software defined in FAR Part 2.101.

 

b. When acquired by the ordering activity, commercial computer software and related documentation so legend shall be subject to the following:

 

(1) Title to and ownership of the software and documentation shall remain with the Contractor, unless otherwise specified.

 

(2) Software licenses are by site and by ordering activity. An ordering activity is defined as a cabinet level or independent ordering activity. The software may be used by any subdivision of the ordering activity (service, bureau, division, command, etc.) that has access to the site the software is placed at, even if the subdivision did not participate in the acquisition of the software. Further, the software may be used on a sharing basis where multiple agencies have joint projects that can be satisfied by the use of the software placed at one ordering activity's site. This would allow other agencies access to one ordering activity's database. For ordering activity public domain databases, user agencies and third parties may use the computer program to enter, retrieve, analyze and present data. The user ordering activity will take appropriate action by instruction, agreement, or otherwise, to protect Beyond 20/20's proprietary property with any third parties that are permitted access to the computer programs and documentation in connection with the user ordering activity's permitted use of the computer programs and documentation. For purposes of this section, all such permitted third parties shall be deemed agents of the user ordering activity.

 

(3) Except as is provided in paragraph 6.b(2) above, the ordering activity shall not provide or otherwise make available the software or documentation, or any portion thereof, in any form, to any third party without the prior written approval of Beyond 20/20. Third parties do not include prime Contractors, subcontractors and agents of the ordering activity who have the ordering activity's permission to use the licensed software and documentation at the facility, and who have agreed to use the licensed software and documentation only in accordance with these restrictions. This provision does not limit the right of the ordering activity to use software, documentation, or information therein, which the ordering activity may already have or obtains without restrictions.

 

(4) The ordering activity shall have the right to use the computer software and documentation with the computer for which it is acquired at any other facility to which that computer may be transferred, or in cases of disaster recovery, the ordering activity has the right to transfer the software to another site if the ordering activity site for which it is acquired is deemed to be unsafe for ordering activity personnel; to use the computer software and documentation with a backup computer when the primary computer is inoperative; to copy computer programs for safekeeping (archives) or backup purposes; to transfer a copy of the software to another site for purposes of benchmarking new hardware and/or software; and to modify the software and documentation or combine it with other software, provided that the unmodified portions shall remain subject to these restrictions.

 

(5) "Commercial Computer Software" may be marked with the Contractor's standard commercial restricted rights legend, but the schedule contract and schedule pricelist, including this clause, "Utilization Limitations" are the only governing terms and conditions, and shall take precedence and supersede any different or additional terms and conditions included in the standard commercial legend.

 

7. SOFTWARE CONVERSIONS ‑ (132‑33): Full monetary credit will be allowed to the ordering activity when conversion from one version of the software to another is made as the result of a change in operating system, or from one computer system to another. Under a perpetual license (132‑33), the purchase price of the new software shall be reduced by the amount that was paid to purchase the earlier version.

8. DESCRIPTIONS AND EQUIPMENT COMPATIBILITY: Please reference GSABuilder, GSAProBrowser, GSAPubBrowser, GSAIntegrator, GSAWEBDataServer, GSAB2020Tech Doc attached hereto.

 

9. RIGHT‑TO‑COPY PRICING: Beyond 20/20 discounts for right-to-copy license are provided in the pricelist and are referred to as Distribution Licenses.

Incentives shall be based on objectively measurable tasks.

 

3. ORDERING PROCEDURES FOR SERVICES (REQUIRING A STATEMENT OF WORK) (G-FCI-920) (MAR 2003):

 

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 services that require a Statement of Work. These special ordering procedures take precedence over the procedures in FAR 8.404 (b)(2) through (b)(3).

 

When ordering services over $100,000, Department of Defense (DOD) ordering offices and non-DOD agencies placing orders on behalf of the DOD must follow the policies and procedures in the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 208.404-70 Additional ordering procedures for services. When DFARS 208.404-70 is applicable and there is a conflict between the ordering procedures contained in this clause and the additional ordering procedures for services in DFARS 208.404-70, the DFARS procedures take precedence.

 

GSA has determined that the prices for services contained in the contractor s price list applicable to this Schedule are fair and reasonable. However, the ordering activity using this contract is responsible for considering the level of effort and mix of labor proposed to perform a specific task being ordered and for making a determination that the total firm-fixed price or ceiling price is fair and reasonable.

 

a. When ordering services, ordering activities shall

 

(1) Prepare a Request (Request for Quote or other communication tool):

 

(i) A statement of work (a performance-based statement of work is preferred) 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, travel, special knowledge, etc.) should be prepared.

 

(ii) The request should include the statement of work and request the contractors to submit either a firm-fixed price or a ceiling price to provide the services outlined in the statement of work. A firm-fixed price order shall be requested, unless the ordering activity 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 time-and-materials proposal may be requested. The firm-fixed price shall be based on the 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 price 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 ceiling price must be established for labor-hour and time-and-materials orders.

 

(iii) The request may ask the contractors, if necessary or appropriate, to submit a project plan for performing the task, and information on the contractor s experience and/or past performance performing similar tasks.

 

(iv) The request 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 regarding the intended use of any experience and/or past performance information in determining technical qualification of responses. If consideration will be limited to schedule contractors who are small business concerns as permitted by paragraph (2) below, the request shall notify the contractors that will be the case.

 

(2) Transmit the Request to Contractors:

 

Based upon an initial evaluation of catalogs and price lists, the ordering activity should identify the contractors that appear to offer the best value (considering the scope of services offered, pricing and other factors such as contractors locations, as appropriate) and transmit the request as follows:

NOTE: 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 services 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.

 

(i) The request should be provided to at least three (3) contractors if the proposed order is estimated to exceed the micro-purchase threshold, but not exceed the maximum order threshold.

 

(ii) For proposed orders exceeding the maximum order threshold, the request should be provided to additional contractors that offer services that will meet the ordering activity s needs.

 

(iii) In addition, the request shall be provided to any contractor who specifically requests a copy of the request for the proposed order.

 

(iv) Ordering activities should strive to minimize the contractors costs associated with responding to requests for quotes for specific orders. Requests should be tailored to the minimum level necessary for adequate evaluation and selection for order placement. Oral presentations should be considered, when possible.

 

(3) Evaluate Responses and Select the Contractor to Receive the Order:

After responses have been evaluated against the factors identified in the request, the order should be placed with the schedule contractor that represents the best value. (See FAR 8.404)

 

b. 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 delivery 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 activity the opportunity to secure volume discounts. When establishing BPAs, ordering activities shall

 

(1) Inform contractors in the request (based on the ordering activity 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.

 

(i) SINGLE BPA: Generally, a single BPA should be established when the ordering activity 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 users may place the order directly under the established BPA when the need for service arises. The schedule contractor that represents the best value should be awarded the BPA. (See FAR 8.404)

 

(ii) MULTIPLE BPAs: When the ordering activity determines multiple BPAs are needed to meet its requirements, the ordering activity should determine which contractors can meet any technical qualifications before establishing the BPAs. When establishing the BPAs, the procedures in (a)(2) above must be followed. The procedures at (a)(2) do not apply to orders issued under multiple BPAs. Authorized users must transmit the request for quote for an order to all BPA holders and then place the order with the Schedule contractor that represents the best value.

 

(2) 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. (See FAR 8.404)

 

c. The ordering activity 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.

 

d. When the ordering activity s requirement involves both products as well as executive, administrative and/or professional, services, the ordering activity should total the prices for the products and the firm-fixed price for the services and select the contractor that represents the best value. (See FAR 8.404)

 

e. The ordering activity, at a minimum, should document orders by identifying the contractor from which the services were purchased, 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 ordering activity requirements in excess of the micro-purchase threshold, the order file should document the evaluation of Schedule contractors quotes that formed the basis for the selection of the contractor that received the order and the rationale for any trade-offs made in making the selection.

 

4. ORDER:

 

a. Agencies may use written orders, EDI orders, blanket purchase agreements, individual purchase orders, or task orders for ordering services under this contract. Blanket Purchase Agreements shall not extend beyond the end of the contract period; all services and delivery shall be made and the contract terms and conditions shall continue in effect until the completion of the order. Orders for tasks which extend beyond the fiscal year for which funds are available shall include FAR 52.232-19 (Deviation May 2003) Availability of Funds for the Next Fiscal Year. The purchase order shall specify the availability of funds and the period for which funds are available.

 

b. All task orders are subject to the terms and conditions of the contract. In the event of conflict between a task order and the contract, the contract will take precedence.

6. STOP-WORK ORDER (FAR 52.242-15) (AUG 1989):

 

a. The Contracting Officer may, at any time, by written order to Beyond 20/20, require Beyond 20/20 to stop all, or any part, of the work called for by this contract for a period of 90 days after the order is delivered to Beyond 20/20, and for any further period to which the parties may agree. The order shall be specifically identified as a stop-work order issued under this clause. Upon receipt of the order, Beyond 20/20 shall immediately comply with its terms and take all reasonable steps to minimize the incurrence of costs allocable to the work covered by the order during the period of work stoppage. Within a period of 90 days after a stop-work is delivered to Beyond 20/20, or within any extension of that period to which the parties shall have agreed, the Contracting Officer shall either-

 

(1) Cancel the stop-work order; or

 

(2) Terminate the work covered by the order as provided in the Default, or the Termination for Convenience of the Government, clause of this contract.

 

b. If a stop-work order issued under this clause is canceled or the period of the order or any extension thereof expires, Beyond 20/20 shall resume work. The Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment in the delivery schedule or contract price, or both, and the contract shall be modified, in writing, accordingly, if-

 

(1) The stop-work order results in an increase in the time required for, or in Beyond 20/20's cost properly allocable to, the performance of any part of this contract; and

 

(2) Beyond 20/20 asserts its right to the adjustment within 30 days after the end of the period of work stoppage; provided, that, if the Contracting Officer decides the facts justify the action, the Contracting Officer may receive and act upon the claim submitted at any time before final payment under this contract.

 

c. If a stop-work order is not canceled and the work covered by the order is terminated for the convenience of the Government, the Contracting Officer shall allow reasonable costs resulting from the stop-work order in arriving at the termination settlement.

 

d. If a stop-work order is not canceled and the work covered by the order is terminated for default, the Contracting Officer shall allow, by equitable adjustment or otherwise, reasonable costs resulting from the stop-work order.

 

7. INSPECTION OF SERVICES: The Inspection of Services Fixed Price (AUG 1996) (Deviation May 2003) clause at FAR 52.246-4 applies to firm-fixed price orders placed under this contract. The Inspection Time‑and‑Materials and Labor-Hour (JAN 1986) (Deviation May 2003) clause at FAR 52.246-6 applies to time‑and‑materials and labor‑ hour orders placed under this contract.

 

8. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CONTRACTOR: Beyond 20/20 shall comply with all laws, ordinances, and regulations (Federal, State, City, or otherwise) covering work of this character.

11. ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST:

 

a. Definitions.

 

Contractor means the person, firm, unincorporated association, joint venture, partnership, or corporation that is a party to this contract.

 

Contractor and its affiliates and Contractor or its affiliates refers to the Contractor, its chief executives, directors, officers, subsidiaries, affiliates, subcontractors at any tier, and consultants and any joint venture involving the Contractor, any entity into or with which the Contractor subsequently merges or affiliates, or any other successor or assignee of the Contractor.

 

An Organizational conflict of interest exists when the nature of the work to be performed under a proposed ordering activity contract, without some restriction on ordering activities by the Contractor and its affiliates, may either (i) result in an unfair competitive advantage to the Contractor or its affiliates or (ii) impair the Contractor s or its affiliates objectivity in performing contract work.

 

b. To avoid an organizational or financial conflict of interest and to avoid prejudicing the best interests of the ordering activity, ordering activities may place restrictions on the Contractors, its affiliates, chief executives, directors, subsidiaries and subcontractors at any tier when placing orders against schedule contracts. Such restrictions shall be consistent with FAR 9.505 and shall be designed to avoid, neutralize, or mitigate organizational conflicts of interest that might otherwise exist in situations related to individual orders placed against the schedule contract. Examples of situations, which may require restrictions, are provided at FAR 9.508.
