> SYSTEM DESIGN, ENGINEERING AND INTEGRATION
>
> TEST AND EVALUATION
>
> INTEGRATED LOGISTICS SUPPORT

ACQUISITION AND LIFE CYCLE MANAGEMENT

 Item Descriptions:

> STRATEGIC PLANNING FOR TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMS/ACTIVITIES Services
> required under this SIN involve the definition and interpretation of
> high-level organizational engineering performance requirements such as
> projects, systems, missions, etc., and the objectives and approaches
> to their achievement. Typical associated tasks include, but are not
> limited to an analysis of mission, program goals and objectives,
> requirements analysis, organizational performance assessment, special
> studies and analysis, training, privatization and outsourcing.
> Example: The evaluation and preliminary definition of new and/or
> improved performance goals for navigation satellites - such as launch
> procedures and costs, multi-user capability, useful service life,
> accuracy and resistance to natural and man made electronic
> interference. Inappropriate use of this SIN is providing professional
> engineering services not specifically related to strategic planning
> for technology programs/activities and its associated disciplines.\
> \
> CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT AND REQUIREMENTS ANALYSIS Services required under
> this SIN involve abstract or concept studies and analysis,
> requirements definition, preliminary planning, the evaluation of
> alternative technical approaches and associated costs for the
> development or enhancement of high level general performance
> specifications of a system, project, mission or activity. Typical
> tasks include, but are not limited to requirements analysis,
> cost/cost-performance trade-off analysis, feasibility analysis,
> regulatory compliance support, technology conceptual designs,
> training, privatization, and outsourcing. Example: The development and
> analysis of the total mission profile and life cycle of the improved
> satellite including examination of performance and cost tradeoffs.
> Inappropriate use of this SIN is providing professional engineering
> services not specifically related to concept development and
> requirements analysis and its associated disciplines.\
> \
> SYSTEM DESIGN, ENGINEERING AND INTEGRATION Services required under
> this SIN involve the translation of a system (or subsystem, program,
> project, activity) concept into a preliminary and detailed design
> (engineering plans and specifications), performing risk
> identification/analysis/mitigation, trace ability, and then
> integrating the various components to produce a working prototype or
> model of the system. Typical associated tasks include, but are not
> limited to computer-aided design, design studies and analysis, high
> level detailed specification preparation, configuration management and
> document control, fabrication, assembly and simulation, modeling,
> training, privatization and outsourcing. Example: The navigation
> satellite concept produced in the preceding stage will be converted to
> a detailed engineering design package, performance will be computer
> simulated and a working model will be built for testing and design
> verification. Inappropriate use of this SIN is providing professional
> engineering services not specifically related to concept development
> and requirements analysis and its associated disciplines.
>
> TEST AND EVALUATION Services required under this SIN involve the
> application of various techniques demonstrating that a prototype
> system (subsystem, program, project or activity) performs in
> accordance with the objectives outlined in the original design.
> Typical associated tasks include, but are not limited testing of a
> prototype and first article(s) testing, environmental testing,
> independent verification and validation, reverse engineering,
> simulation and modeling (to test the feasibility of a concept), system
> safety, quality assurance, physical testing of the product or system,
> training, privatization, and outsourcing. Example: The navigation
> satellite-working model will be subjected to a series of tests, which
> may simulate and ultimately duplicate its operational environment.
> Inappropriate use of this SIN is providing professional engineering
> services not specifically related to testing and evaluating and its
> associated disciplines.
>
> INTEGRATED LOGISTICS SUPPORT Services required under this SIN involves
> the analysis, planning and detailed design of all engineering specific
> logistics support including material goods, personnel, and operational
> maintenance and repair of systems throughout their life cycles.
> Associated tasks include, but are not limited to ergonomic/human
> performance analysis, feasibility analysis, logistics planning,
> requirements determination, policy standards/procedures development,
> long-term reliability and maintainability, training, privatization and
> outsourcing. Example: The full range of life cycle logistics support
> for the navigation satellite will be identified and designed in this
> stage including training, operation and maintenance requirements, and
> replacement procedures. Inappropriate use of this SIN is providing
> professional engineering services not specifically related to
> integrated logistics support and its associated disciplines.\
> \
> ACQUISITION AND LIFE CYCLE MANAGEMENT Services required under this SIN
> involve all of the planning, budgetary, contract and systems/program
> management execution functions required to procure and/or produce,
> render operational and provide life cycle support (maintenance,
> repair, supplies, engineering specific logistics) to technology-based
> systems, activities, subsystems, projects, etc. Typical associated
> tasks include, but are not limited to operation and maintenance,
> program/project management, technology transfer/insertion, training,
> privatization and outsourcing. Example: During this stage the actual
> manufacturing, launch, and performance monitoring of the navigation
> satellite will be assisted through project management, configuration
> management, reliability analysis, engineering retrofit improvements
> and similar functions. Inappropriate use of this SIN is professional
> engineering services not specifically related to acquisition and life
> cycle management and associated disciplines.

14.     Ordering Procedures

> For supplies and services, the ordering procedures, information on
> Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs), and a sample BPA can be found at
> the GSA/FSS Schedule homepage
> ([[http://www.fss.gsa.gov/schedules]{.underline}](http://www.fss.gsa.gov/schedules)).
>
> GSA has determined that the prices for services contained in LCMS s
> price list applicable to this Schedule are fair and reasonable.
> However, the ordering office using this contract is responsible for
> considering the level of effort and mixes 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. When
> ordering services, ordering offices shall
>
> Prepare a Request (Request for Quote or other communication tool):
>
> 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.
>
> 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 office 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. A ceiling price must be
> established for labor-hour and time-and-materials orders.
>
> 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.
>
> 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.
>
> Transmit the Request to Contractors:
>
> Based upon an initial evaluation of catalogs and price lists, the
> ordering office 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).
>
> The request should be provided to three (3) contractors if the
> proposed order is estimated to exceed the micro-purchase threshold,
> but not exceed the maximum order threshold. For proposed orders
> exceeding the maximum order threshold, the request 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 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.
>
> 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)
>
> 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 office the opportunity to
> secure volume discounts. When establishing BPAs, ordering offices
> shall
>
> Inform contractors in the request (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.
>
> 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 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)
>
> 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 procedures in (a)(2)(ii) above and
> then place the order with the Schedule contractor that represents the
> best value.
>
> 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)
>
> The ordering office should give preference to small business concerns
> when two or more contractors can provide the same firm-fixed price or
> ceiling price.
>
> When the ordering office s requirement involves both products as well
> as executive, administrative and/or 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 best value. (See FAR 8.404)
>
> The ordering office, 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
> agency 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.
>
> Ordering procedures for other services available on schedule at fixed
> prices for specifically defined services or tasks should use the
> procedures in FAR 8.404. These procedures are listed in the pricelist,
> under Information for Ordering Offices, paragraph #12.
