How to Use This Document 

This document serves as a customer guide when planning a procurement for Ancillary Repair and 

Alterations, Installation and Site Preparation, and Roofing Products and Services Solutions. 

Section A – Ancillary Repair and Alterations (SIN ANCRA) 

1.0 Introduction to Ancillary Repair and Alterations 

1.1 Background 

The ANCRA SIN provides customers the ability to obtain comprehensive and flexible solutions 

under the Multiple Award Schedule (MAS). It also saves time by simplifying the acquisition process. 

The ANCRA SIN is only available to support task/delivery orders issued against a select number of 

subcategories (see section 1.2 below). 

ANCRA is defined as: 

Includes ancillary repair and alteration services ordered in conjunction with the delivery, or 

installation of products or services. These services are non-complex in nature, such as routine 

painting, carpeting, simple hanging of drywall, basic electrical or plumbing work, landscaping. For 

ordering limitations and information, refer to the Special Ordering Procedures/Ordering Guide 

posted on www.gsa.gov. 

Services provided under this SIN must be purchased in conjunction with items under the 

subcategories of Facilities Supplies, Facilities Solutions, Facilities Services, Structures, Facilities 

Maintenance and Repair, Furniture Services, Flooring, Machinery and Components, Fuel 

Management, Industrial Products, Industrial Products and Services Maintenance and Repair, Office 

Services, Logistical Services and Laboratory Equipment. Ancillary Repair and Alteration services 

provided under this SIN must be ancillary to products or services purchased under one or more of 

these subcategories and are not permitted to supplement products or services provided under the 

remaining subcategories. 

Applicable clauses associated with FAR Subpart 22.4 have been incorporated into this SIN; however, 

specific wage determinations are not included, and ordering activities are directed to review the 

FAR, agency supplemental regulations and any other relevant guidance to ensure that all applicable 

clauses and other requirements are incorporated at the order level based on the specific 

circumstances of their requirement. Agencies executing orders under the contract must observe any 

agency- specific approvals, thresholds, or funding restrictions associated with real property work, 

such as/for example, the use of operation and maintenance (O&M) funds for unspecified military 

construction. This SIN excludes services including (1) major or new construction of buildings, roads, 

parking lots and other facilities; (2) complex R&A of entire facilities or significant portions of 

facilities, and (3) Architectural Engineering Services (A&E) under the Brooks Architect-Engineers Act 

as stated in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 36. Ancillary services, incidentals, and 

equipment rental may only be ordered in conjunction with or in support of products or services 

purchased under the Federal Supply Schedule contract.

2.0 Guidance for Use of ANCRA 

All the following criteria must be met before including the ANCRA SIN in your Request for Quote (RFQ), 

blanket purchase agreement, or delivery/task order. 

2.1 Work is Incidental to Requirement 

ANCRA SIN services are not to be the sole or primary purpose of the work to be purchased under 

the delivery order, task order or Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA). ANCRA services shall only be 

ordered from the MAS contractor who is providing the underlying product or service and must be 

awarded on the same order. The ANCRA work must be incidental to the primary products and/or 

services offered under the applicable subcategories. 

2.2 Work is Not Major or New Construction 

The ANCRA SIN excludes the following: 

• Major or new construction of buildings, roads, parking lots and other facilities;

• Architect–Engineering Services (A&E) subject to Public Law 92-582 (Brooks Act)

2.3 Work is Not Complex or Related to a Significant Portion of the Facility 

The following shall be considered when determining complexity and significance: 

• Primary purpose of the work;

• Dollar value of ANCRA items in relation to other SINs;

• Duration of project;

• Variety of trades involved;

• Change in structural functionality (e.g., load-bearing walls, floor loading, etc.);

• Change in space quality (e.g., heating, cooling, etc.);

• Project activities (e.g., amount of dust and debris, noise abatement, loading dock

availability, material transport and storage, employee swing space, coordination with

tenants, potential of damage to building, security escorts, etc.); and

• Special situations (e.g., historic buildings, asbestos, lead paint, PCBs, storage tanks, etc.)

It is the responsibility of the ordering activity Contracting Officer (CO) to determine complexity and 

scope. The items for consideration will vary and differ from project to project, but if the work is 

determined to be complex, the ANCRA SIN cannot be used. ANCRA work is solely related to repair, 

alterations, delivery or installation of products or services – purchased under the qualifying 

subcategories – and is routine and non-complex in nature, such as routine painting, carpeting, 

simple hanging of drywall, basic electrical and plumbing, landscaping, and similar non-complex 

services.

2.4 Work is Not Architect-Engineer (A&E) Services 

A&E services are not authorized under the Multiple Award Schedules program. The below is an 

excerpt from FAR 36.601-4. 

FAR 36.601-4 Implementation 

(a) Contracting officers should consider the following services to be “architect–engineer

services” subject to the procedures of this subpart:

1. Professional services of an architectural or engineering nature, as defined by applicable

state law, which the state law requires to be performed or approved by a registered architect

or engineer.

2. Professional services of an architectural or engineering nature associated with design or

construction of real property.

3. Other professional services of an architectural or engineering nature or services incidental

thereto (including studies, investigations, surveying and mapping, tests, evaluations,

consultations, comprehensive planning, program management, conceptual designs, plans

and specifications, value engineering, construction phase services, soils engineering, drawing

reviews, preparation of operating and maintenance manuals and other related services) that

logically or justifiably require performance by registered architects or engineers or their

employees.

4. Professional surveying and mapping services of an architectural or engineering nature.

Surveying is considered to be an architectural and engineering service and shall be procured

pursuant to section 36.601 from registered surveyors or architects and engineers. Mapping

associated with the research, planning, development, design, construction, or alteration of

real property is considered to be an architectural and engineering service and is to be

procured pursuant to section 36.601. However, mapping services that are not connected to

traditionally understood or accepted architectural and engineering activities are not

incidental to such architectural and engineering activities or have not in themselves

traditionally been considered architectural and engineering services shall be procured

pursuant to provisions in parts 13, 14, and 15.

2.5 Work is Not in a GSA Public Building Service (PBS) leased space 

ANCRA SIN cannot be used when the work to be performed will occur in a GSA PBS leased space. 

2.6 If Desired Work is in Federally Owned Space Managed by GSA PBS and Approval Has Been 

Obtained 

Revised 1/2022 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Only PBS has the legal authority to delegate ANCRA work to the executive branch of the federal 

government. Written approval is required before any ancillary R&A service may be ordered. 

When the value of the ANCRA work is greater than the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, the 

ordering organization must provide the MAS contractor written evidence of delegation of authority 

signed by the PBS Regional Administrator (RA). 

2.7 Any Applicable Davis-Bacon and Miller Act Clauses are Included 

It is the responsibility of the ordering activity to determine applicability of Davis-Bacon and the 

Miller Act, as well as any supplemental clauses to be included in the RFQ. 

2.8 The CO has the required warrant for construction 

Be aware that ordering organizations may require a warrant specifically for construction. 

3.0 Inspection of Ancillary Repair and Alterations Work 

Upon completion of any ANCRA work performed in federally owned space managed by PBS, the work 

must be inspected by the PBS’s building manager and/or Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) (to 

verify that the work conforms to the building standards) before payment is submitted to the MAS 

contractor.

2.0 Guidance for Use of Installation and Site Preparation Services SIN 238910 

Revised 1/2022 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When including installation and site prep services as part of your Request for Quote (RFQ), blanket 

purchase agreement, or delivery or task order, refer to the following guidance. 

2.1 Defining the scope of work to be performed 

Defining and issuing the statement of work for installation and site preparation services - it is 

essential for the ordering agency’s statement of work to include an accurate description of the 

work required and definition of scope to facilitate realistic quotations. The statement of work shall 

clearly inform the contractor of all bonding requirements and any required insurance amounts. 

2.2 Quotes should include the following 

Defining and requesting specific quote response requirements will facilitate useful quotations. The 

ordering agency shall consider only fixed priced quotes. Federal agencies should request separate 

quote for services to be performed under this SIN based on the ordering agency’s statement of 

work. Should the contractor not be able to meet all requirements in the statement of work, the 

contractor’s quote must specifically identify the items which have not been included in the quoted 

price (To be identified as open market). Federal agencies should ask contractors to clearly define 

the specific scope of services to be performed relative to the product being purchased. 

2.3 Any Applicable Davis-Bacon and Miller Act Clauses are Included 

It is the agency’s responsibility to comply with Construction Contract Clauses and Davis-Bacon 

regulations. Performance clauses will be modified for each job by the requiring agency. 

Agencies will negotiate the labor mix, based on the requirements of the SOW, for installation and 

site preparation requiring construction or ancillary repair and alteration on a project-by- project 

basis; installation and site preparation shall be priced as a separate line item. The ordering agency 

is responsible for including the most current version of these clauses and any other applicable 

clauses into the order. Clauses which require "fill-ins” must be completed by the ordering agency. 

Any agency specific clauses which may apply based on agency regulations or requirements must be 

added and must be cited in the statement of work. All payments and orders must be placed with 

the prime contractor. All construction work must be guaranteed for any defect in workmanship 

and materials. 

2.4 Work is Not A&E Services 

Installation and site prep services performed under a MAS contract shall not include A&E services. 

The ordering organization needs to determine that the work is not an A&E service, as described in 

FAR 36.601-4 (found below).
