# Information for Ordering Offices 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.

## 1.0 Geographic Scope of Contract

This schedule is valid for the 48 contiguous states and the District of
Columbia.

## 2.0 Contractor\'s Ordering Address and Payment Information

Contractors are required to accept the Government purchase card for
payments equal to or less than the micro‑purchase threshold for oral or
written delivery orders. Government purchase cards will be acceptable
for payment above the micro-purchase threshold. In addition, bank
account information for wire transfer payments will be shown on the
invoice.

The following telephone number(s) can be used by ordering agencies to
obtain technical and/or ordering assistance:

732/542-3113 voice

732/542-3535 fax

## 3.0 Liability for Injury or Damage 

The Contractor shall not be liable for any injury to Government
personnel or damage to Government property arising from the use of
equipment maintained by the Contractor, unless such injury or damage is
due to the fault or negligence of the Contractor.

The Maximum Order value for Special Item Number (SIN) 132-51 -
Information Technology (IT) Professional Services is \$500,000.

## 12.0 Use of Federal Supply Service Information Technology Schedule Contracts. In accordance with FAR 8.404: 

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

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 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
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 service that represents the
best value. Before placing an order, ordering offices 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 agency s needs. In selecting
the supply or service

representing 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 procedures in paragraph b,
above, and before placing an order that exceeds the maximum order
threshold, ordering offices 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 office 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 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 offices will
find it advantageous to request a price reduction. For example, when the
ordering office 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 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.

f\. 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.

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 agency 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 office shall include an explanation in
the file as to why the particular brand name, product, or feature is
essential to satisfy the agency's needs.

## 13.0 Federal Information Technology/Telecommunication Standards Requirements 

Federal departments and agencies 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
offices, 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

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. Information concerning their
applicability can be obtained by writing or calling the U.S. Department
of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology,
Gaithersburg, MD 20899, telephone number (301) 975-2833.

## 14.0 Security Requirements 

In the event security requirements are necessary, the ordering
activities may incorporate, in their delivery orders, a security clause
in accordance with current laws, regulations, and individual agency
policy; however, the burden of administering the security requirements
shall be with the ordering agency. If any costs are incurred as a result
of the inclusion of security requirements, such costs will not exceed
ten percent (10%) or \$100,000, of the total dollar value of the order,
whichever is less.

## 

## 15.0 Contract Administration for Ordering Offices 

Any ordering office, with respect to any one or more delivery orders
placed by it under this contract, may exercise the same rights of
termination as might the GSA Contracting Officer under provisions of FAR
52.212-4, paragraphs (l) Termination for the Government s convenience,
and (m) Termination for Cause (See C.1.)

## 16.0 GSA Advantage! 

GSA Advantage! is an on-line, interactive electronic information and
ordering system that provides on-line access to vendors\' schedule

>
> \(3\) Product categories.              

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/.

## 

## 17.0 Purchase of Incidental, Non-Schedule Items 

For administrative convenience, open market (non-contract) items may be
added to a Federal Supply Schedule Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) or
an individual order, provided that the items are clearly labeled as such
on the order, all applicable regulations have been followed, and price
reasonableness has been determined by the ordering activity for the open
market (non‑contract) items.

## 18.0 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.

## 19.0 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:

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

## 20.0 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.

## 21.0 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, Contractor s Reports of Sales and
552.238-76, Industrial Funding Fee, i.e., each contractor (team member)
must report sales and remit the IFF for all products and services
provided under its individual contract.

## 22.0 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 clauses 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 requisitioning 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.

## 23.0 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.dsci.com/Section508/

The EIT standard can be found at:
[www.Section508.gov/](http://www.section508.gov/).

# Terms and Conditions Applicable to Information Technology (IT) Professional Services (Special Item Number 132-51)

##  1.0 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.

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.

## 2.0 Performance Incentives 

a\. When using a performance-based statement of work, performance
incentives may be agreed upon between the Contractor and the ordering
office on individual fixed price orders or Blanket Purchase Agreements,
for fixed price tasks, under this contract in accordance with this
clause.

b\. The ordering office must establish a maximum performance incentive
price for these services and/or total solutions on individual orders or
Blanket Purchase Agreements.

c\. To the maximum extent practicable, ordering offices shall consider
establishing incentives where performance is critical to the agency\'s
mission and incentives are likely to motivate the contractor. Incentives
shall be based on objectively measurable tasks.

d\. The above procedures do not apply to Time and Material or labor hour
orders.

## 3.0 Ordering Procedures for Services (Requiring a Statement of Work) 

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).

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 office 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 offices 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 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, 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)(i) below, the request shall notify the contractors that
will be the case.

\(2\) Transmit the Request to Contractors:

\(i\) 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). 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.

\(ii\) 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.

\(3\) 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 office the opportunity to
secure volume discounts. When establishing BPAs, ordering offices shall-

\(1\) 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.

\(i\) 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)

\(ii\) 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.

\(2\) 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 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.

\(d\) 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.

# Best Value Blanket Purchase Agreement Federal Supply Schedule

#  

(Insert Customer Name)

In the spirit of the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act (Agency) and
DSCI enter into a cooperative agreement to further reduce the
administrative costs of acquiring commercial items from the General
Services Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Schedule Contract(s)
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.

Federal Supply Schedule contract BPAs eliminate contracting and open
market costs such as: search for sources; the development of technical
documents, solicitations and the evaluation of offers. Teaming
Arrangements are permitted with Federal Supply Schedule Contractors in
accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 9.6.

This BPA will further decrease costs, reduce paperwork, and save time by
eliminating the need for repetitive, individual purchases from the
schedule contract. The end result is to create a purchasing mechanism
for the Government that works better and costs less.
